This in illogical and unquantifiable nonsense.

I'll be very happy to offer you the chance to check the quantified results
that inform my comment. Perhaps they should be published for anyone to check?
I'm certainly willing to offer magazine and web space for any feedback
including suggestions for other tasks to time.

If your comment relates to "Many people will have more tasks with slightly
less beefy* work" then I'm afraid I don't have figures to back that up. I
thought it was self-evident but am happy to be persuaded otherwise if there is
a good argument for it.

*less beefy = manipulation of files smaller than the larger files from typical
digital cameras.
