Let's say I have a car that I run in the quarter mile that has can only reach 65. There are plenty of things I can do to this car, better tires, tune up the engine, better gasoline, make it more aerodynamic and even work on my own reaction time. All of these things can make my time in the quarter mile better/lower without changing my speed of 65.

That's what these "speed" camps do they help the athletes reach their top speed quicker and maintain their top speed longer. They aren't going to increase their top speed.  I stand by my statement; you may learn to fully utilize your speed and training and technique work can help you do this but you aren't going to become fast if it isn't in your DNA.

Cuseonly, you said you went from a 4.8 to 4.5.  You were always capable of a 4.5 and that's where training comes in. Not everyone, regardless of the training, could go from a 4.8 to a 4.5.

On a side note you can't base whether something is true or not simply because it is a multi-million dollar industry. If you truly believe that I have some refrigerator magnets I will sell you that you can put in your shoes that will solve any and all your health issues!
