Nope.  Not sluggish at all.  Blind, maybe (but nothing prevents
one from applying some thought, as well).  But not sluggish.

It can seem silly or sluggish at first, but ... well, it's

There is little in our Universe that is less sluggish, at the
end of the day, than exponential behavior.

Yup.  Good.
