And another one......

If I do 4 sectors in a day with 5mins worth of taxiing at each end + 10mins for a RunUp at the beginning of the day thats 0.6 added to the Switch for my Logbook.
If I had instead added a 'standard' 0.2 per sector that makes 0.8 to be added for my logbook.
That's a difference of 0.2 per day, 1.0 per week...... adding up isn't it. A years worth of logging like this and I could easily inflate by 40-50hours per year.
4 x 10 mins of taxiing plus 10 mins is 50 minutes, which to most people is 0.8.
The same as 0.2 per sector.

You need to be accurate with this stuff,
You have shown that the two are the same in your particular operation. I log 0.1 per sector as per my company's ops manual because on average the total taxi time is going to be less than 9 minutes.

This is an accepted method of complying with the rules of logging flight time. What part of that do some of you not understand?
