I haven’t heard it called this before but I agree with others that the general concept is a good idea. We are far too quick to jump to the next processor, the next monitor etc. when those things can realistically last a very long time before hitting too much of a performance limitation (especially for people who don’t render anything like high games or video editing.)
Definitely true that some are more effective than others. However there are learned practices that make dealing with these much safer (eg. Blackout/closed curtains during the day time, emphasising water, allowing people to stay from from work on extreme heat days etc.)
