    If they put 1 ton of iron ore in the furnace over a period of 1 hour, even if the iron is at the bottom of the furnace within seconds instead of hours, it doesn't enable them to add iron ore at a faster rate

    Cool. So, now they get to put several times more of the iron. I wonder if your argument is going to be 'but they will hit another bottleneck, then'.
