Absolutely NONE. No one cares about “high performance” time. The only reason it matters is because of the multiplier. And to their egos, apparently.....
Unless you have “been there done that”, I’d keep your opinion to yourself. Not everyone makes the cut for fighters/single seat and the rest go on to multicrew airframes by choice or not. Everything depends on the individual and airline flying/training is set with the lowest common denominator in mind.
