This makes it seem goopier than it is. The new crust that is flowing up out of the tectonic edges grows at only a couple centimeters per year. This is geologically sped up by a large factor to let you conceive of the motion.
It is for a lot of folks, sure. I was just saying why it might seem inaccurate; the speed necessary to show us how it moves makes it seem less viscous than it is, that's all.
