I wouldn't argue with research from 1968, referenced in an article from
1993, by an expert in usability, cited in my slides.

Response Times: The 3 Important Limits

I don't understand this.

It not being in control of the user is the point of knowing UX/HCI factors
so the good default response times can be chosen.

TCP's default timeouts are way too large for a good end user experience. I
don't know what criteria were used to select them, but it certainly wasn't
human usability factors.
