Yes, for people who prefer to wash the dishes first and tackle the pots
and pans later (probably a majority, from my observation). But I think
you will find that some people prefer to do the pots and pans first --
concentrate on the hard stuff -- and only turn to the dishes as relative
recreation after the tough work has been completed.
