You put that well and I understand the point. But it is the mentality which is the problem, the commercials are just outer symptoms. The mentality would be a problem even if he had done no commercials and thought the same thoughts.

Thus the problem with Robert is deeper than just his time investment in commercials, as some have implied. The time investment itself is minimal. It's not a scheduling problem, it's a psychological one.
