Multiple times on the Rim vs Diac debates I see comments saying it’s quicker to change a wheel with rim brakes.  I’ve searched for any timings but I’m finding it hard to find anything online.

I’m unconvinced QR+rim is faster.  You have 2 actions – release the brake remove lever on the caliper + spin the QR. 
Through Axle you just spin the bolt.  And that’s without using the special QR TA’s you can get.

So. My feel is that this is a false statement?  Thoughts?

You’ve missed the ‘get the hex key out’ stage for the TA.
