C'mon Phil, 20%? Editors working every day on top of their game absorb skill as they work. These editors are very relevant. And I can tell you that years of working alone vs years of working in a group of 15-20 editors on a show, the group knowledge shared far outweighs the single editor looking for answers. That's how you make up the time.
