John,
No sarcasm filter needed.
The fact is he grades with just a keyboard.
Actually the mouse comes into play for masks and stuff.
And he actually does ask facilities to remove the control surface.
So you (and me) are in good company when we type numbers into the curves tabs.

The only time I use the sliders is in secondary color correction and occasionally in levels. What do you find appealing about thumbwheels over the slider? I would guess there might be a more refined feel but I haven't noticed that with sapphire or boris thumbwheel interfaces. Curious to learn more here.
