In their words

The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“Um and then I can adapt to that um capacity over that period of time. Um but you cannot interrupt me in a minute. Um and so those two things are priced differently and the reason why they're priced differently is because what is the price you would pay um in order to interrupt your batch job. It's very different than the price you would pay to interrupt your um live job.”
