Whatever was the case back then, I'll bet is not anymore. No one with assistants and such a workload should be let adrift like that.

The quote immediately preceding this describes a remarkably impressive information diet, the emulation of which is beyond the scope of what you could possibly hope to achieve in this kind of 'Challenge'. This being presented as the thing to be avoided is utterly bizarre.
