Hmm, very interesting discussion. Obviously we all have varied opinions as it should be but one size shoe does not fit all. Here is my justification to the statements I made earlier for what's worth.
Obviously I can use my spoon and fill it all I can and keep shoving it down, but I don't because I want to enjoy my meal and more importantly not make a scene
and wouldn't give it any thoughts if my spoon is going to last longer or not. When I'm driving in the mountains in Colorado, I speed up or slow down to provide adequate power that I need to safely get from point A to B. Again, if I'm carrying a suitcase from point A to B that say weighs 60 lbs I would not need to use an 18 wheeler to do the task, a lowly Honda Civic would do the task perfectly adequately.
On my earlier garden example, my garden is a whopping 15' wide by 150' long, my garden plot has a good soil and no rocks at all, at my creeping speed and 1500 rpm the tiller is whipping the ground to a fine powder without slightest trace of engine bogging down. Obviously I can increase the rpm and ground speed to speed the things up. That may speed up things may be about 5 minutes more from 15 minutes to 10 minutes. I do my garden tilling once a year and really could not careless if it takes me 15 minutes or 10 minutes. I would most likely change things if I were making money and time was of the essence.
I firmly believe in conservation of resources anywhere I can short of sacrificing desired result.
