While I got you on the horn, your +15 minute thing is supposed to make

things
fairer for the guys that dont have fancy computers that give an ETA. Well
guess what? Everybody is smart enough to make sure they get home 15

minutes
late. All you have succeeded in doing is to add 15 minutes to all optional
tasks. It's kind'a like the railroad that discovered a majority of

accidents
involved the caboose being hit by another train. Their solution was to

remove
all cabooses. Sounds like adding 15 minutes doesn't it?

I've heard several people claim that "getting back 15 minutes after minimun
time" is the new secret strategy to deal with the 15 minute time addition.
I don't understand why anyone would think that this is better than finishing
at any other value over minimum time. Could someone who believes that this
stragegy has a rational basis please explain it here?
