That's a strange thing to say. I don't have any power to impose oflag=sync on anyone (and if I had, I wouldn't use it for such a thing: why should I?) BTW, my reason for using it is not that it's a "waste of time" otherwise, but rather that waiting on an (unpredictable) sync to finish feels less comfy than to have a rough idea of how long it'll take (thanks to status=progress).
