I don’t care whether I’m satisfied - I care whether the client is. And does this get me faster to it? Probably yes.
In a narrative film or a project of my own I’d care. In a project for hire under a tight deadline?

It makes things more convenient for you. I'm not arguing against that. And, yes, you may have a satisfied client. But the work will not be as interesting, because you have not comprehended all of the ingested material. That is my only point. I'm not sure why this is so upsetting?
