Those were my thoughts too.

I guess with more practice my confidence concerning which mil mark is which would increase (without counting them each time), but I'd rather spend that time looking for critters instead of at a target. To add to the confusion, even when I count mil marks and find the one I need, when I try to concentrate getting that mil mark on the animal I often loose track of which mark it is/was, and have to count them again. By then the critter shifts position or mingles with others in the herd, and I am back to step 1. Simply dialing the turret and using the reticle like normal simply is faster for me, at my skill level.

Guess I am just more of a hunter than a shooter.
