Exactly this, I meant to say 'block hours' rather than 'duty hours' in my original post. Agreed from a duty perspective no different but I've at least 10 hours or so this summer in the logbook from sitting on the taxiway, a mixture of push and park and push and start, taxi to remote location and shut down for an hour or so. All counts legally as block hours.
