I agree, it would be nice to resize the editors separately, though that would probably require some tedious rewriting. 🙁
It would also be a problem when you use the “shared timeline” profile for an editor (you can find it in the view menu). That certainly has its uses still.
Regarding the numbers… I haven’t seen the show, unfortunately (shame), but how about this as an answer: “The owls are not what they seem.” 😉
