I don't think you hijacked but rather enforced the thought of cook to temp not time. Just my $.02.

From Thermoworks in today's email:

I may buy a handful of these for gifts. I think 5-6 seconds read is all you need to start with. The expensive ones read in 3 seconds supposedly.Is 2 seconds worth an extra $70?

Some of these guys will try to convince you to calibrate your thermometers to 98.6 degrees by inserting into all bodily orifices. Do not listen to them. It hurts.
