Bit harsh, Jeepster!
All he's saying is yes, it's confusing to have to record flight time as the time between the start of taxiing for take-off and the completion of taxiing after landing - but to be billed for 'Hobbs Time'. He also makes the valid point that, if someone can't cope with adding hours and minutes, it's difficult to believe that they can cope with the maths required for even PPL navigation.
I'm sure the racial stereotyping was tongue-in-cheek......at least I hope so!
