It can make all the difference in some circumstances :-)
Your point stands, though; unless you're riding track at a pretty high level, there's really no point getting your hands dirty for a gear change of less than 4"
46/17 is a perfectly sensible gear, at 72" it may even be a little high for just tooling around in the winter.
