Study: Humans Were Born To Run Barefoot

Sorry for posting a non-paleo topic -- I was looking for a separate discussion area for crossfit and/or workout related topics, but I couldn't find it -- please let me know where it is if it exists (or perhaps the moderator could create a new topic area).
Anyhow, this is a really cool article from NPR about how wearing shoes affects running form and the damage that can happen as a result. The video is awesome -- you can really see the difference in how the person that learned to run wearing shoes holds his foot vs. the barefoot runner.
What I'm wondering is -- is the barefoot running form demonstrated in this article the same or similar to "posed" running I've heard Randy mention?
