Replying in kind: if it optimizes memory layout then it speeds up computation. However if you reduce the hardness from 5 bn years to 1bn years it's important but amusing. They discuss distance metrics, which may be sensitive to inducive bias, which may perhaps be substantiated by external knowledge about the specific instance of the problem. Then things are not amusing anymore.
