Yeah, don't even mention it. As soon as you tell the ill-informed that it "takes time" to decide between choices, and that time increases with each choice, people will start thinking about seconds and seconds and more seconds. It is hard for someone to understand just how fast a few milleseconds go by.

There are police trainers walking around thinking that it will take 5 full seconds to decide between three tactics. Four tactics? 7 to ten seconds. Its an excuse to sell dumb down systems and an excuse for the lazy not to learn new choices or work-out.
