It very obviously increases your chances of getting to full BIS faster to have earned more DKP or plat, in the same way that FSI very obviously increases your chances of successfully soloing something. While you're correct that its not nearly significant enough to guarantee you get ahead of another shaman with less time, the same thing can be said for FSI; there's no guarantee having it actually results in you succeeding more than a shaman that doesn't have it, it just gives you better odds.

If you have played in a serious raiding guild, you would know that 40 hours is very little time. This is because most of it may be spent waiting for mobs to pop. Remember that the 40 hours is not "40 hours of killing raid targets when they are spawned and your guild got FTE", it is "40 hours of raiding, including waiting for mobs to spawn, including losing a mob to other guilds, etc."
Realistically speaking you have no evidence to suggest the 40 hours (at best) of extra endgame will end up being better than having FSI for your character's entire playtime.
You have no evidence to support your position, and you are changing the normal definition of Min/Max. I don't see any victory for you here in this debate so far.
