Use of convenience foods does not actually reduce cooking time.

I gotta say, that surprised me.

I think the real question is "What is it about dinner that forces us to want to spend an hour on it?" Because it does sound to me like every second they saved, they threw right back into the process!

That's a fair question. I don't spend that much time on dinner unless I'm trying to do something special. Although if I did spend more time, I'd have healthier results. For example, I could take the time to make a salad to go with my main dish. But I usually just take 20-30 minutes. And I just make one dish. But I don't have kids.
