Typing out the instructions, copying and pasting the data, then analyzing the output for correctness is faster than running `sort -h` ?

It can be less mental effort, not necessarily faster.
Faster than recalling or finding out again that it's `sort -h`, and not `sort -n` or `xargs -wtf -- sort -xkcd {}` or whatever.
