I feel like using literally any actual measurement tool would be better for data collection that just a bunch of people saying they saw one.

Cool, cool. You are wrong though. Science says you are wrong.

Hell we have enough satellites to track whales. Especially since they have to surface to breath.

No, we don't have enough satellites to track every time a whale surfaces to breathe. Nor do we have the ability for satellites to know if it is the same whale.

Yeah.... And they used to scramble peoples brains with an ice pick to try and fix people with depression. Then they learned there is a better way to do things. Science can always be improved. It's incredibly naive to think the method with which we use to count whales currently could not also be improved or made more accurate in any way.
