Perhaps. But then you'd have to include me in that category. Which may
be true, of course, but that's another discussion entirely :-)

Nope. I actually have few objections to them on technical grounds, so
it would be hard to project those onto anything. I'm merely saying that
my personal experience, and by direct observation, that of many others
as well, is that there's a noticable delay between slapping the card
on the reader and having it validate. There used to be no perceivable
delay with paper tickets.
