I maintain my position at the time: weeding is almost never just weeding. You're there monitoring a lot of different aspects of your plants' health and progress; you need to do that whether you're weeding or not, so you might as well be weeding.
This is a solution in search of a problem, and none of these people seem like gardeners.
