    Which is 100% true. And it's also true Dropbox was a great product because it provided this functionality for the vast majority of the population who don't have the time or interest to learn all those tools.

    The part about forcing 14 minutes per operation terrifies me. If I'm on the table, and something unexpected comes up, how much pressure is the surgeon under to take a short cut to ensure he stays under 14 minutes? Or make a mistake be
