Yes, that's very unconvincing.

He may think that he is rebasing later anyway, but sorting all those commits into "need for my feature" vs. "don't need for my feature", followed by the rebasing within the feature certainly takes much longer than the split second of creating a branch and keeping those features separate from the beginning.

It's great if it works for him, but he's certainly not saving time.

Yeah, maybe if the project is super small and you can memorize everything about it. but this doesn't scale to many real-world size projects very well
