Agreed, the problem isn't that it is slower (unless you're building a military grade FizzBuzz the difference is imperceptible). The actual problem (or I should say, the problem much more likely to be encountered) is when a change request comes in to add rules to "Woof on multiples of 7" the number of cases to check doubles (from 15, 5, 3 to 105, 35, 21, 15, 7, 5, 3)
Yes true...
And when working in real-life applications...
we often encounter these sort of problems, where the correct algorithm wins.
just like Page rank over others...

Solve today's problem. Fizzbuzz is Fizzbuzz.
