Well said. If it's true that this can be interpreted as an average (let's say normally-sedentary) person getting more benefit from shorter, higher-intensity exercise as opposed to longer, low-intensity exercise... I think that is helpful information and could actually motive some people to get better exercise in. If I could simply choose between 3 minutes of running fast versus 90 minutes of walking, of course I would always choose the shorter one and get it over with, and may not have even chosen the walking at all due to the time involved.
