I think their point is that the user should be always up-to-date, even without
knowing it; and without having to realize the page is outdated and reloading.
At home I have the page reload every time, but here I can't control cache-ing,
and clicking reload means uploading the page *again*, i.e. twice the time, and
that's without taking reaction time into consideration (I never realize I'm
watching an old page, because it still says "2 minutes ago"... bad).
