That's pretty funny Jeff, I was just saying the same thing, to myself.
Here's what happened:
This morning I was shooting interview questions of a guy at Google
Ventures for a 3-5 minute piece that the client needs by Monday. My
cameras are tapeless (P2 cards). Normally when I shoot interviews I use
a single camera, and stop and start recording between takes to create
individual clips. Today I ran 2 cameras so that it would be faster and
easier to edit/remove material without jump cuts. Well I guess I'm just
a blind horse on a treadmill, I stopped and started both cameras between
takes.
Well it's just 2 cameras, not that hard to individually group a dozen
takes. But I will have to eat the extra time.

Nobody cares that you need to reposition, or anything else. It's so
much easier to speed through shots of the ground, the sky, or your own
face while things are changing then trying to Sync up your stop-start
crap on an iphone, DSLR or your goPro produced file to everything else
shot there.

DON'T save JACK by stopping constantly when other sources keep rolling.
