It should probably be noted that in general, the

more than a few seconds.

Huh? For that to be true in general, you would have to assert that every blocked user attempts to hit "edit" at least once every minute.
The "few seconds" applied to one specific case. Since this block was renewed within the first minute, it's true that it was only extended by a few seconds.
The assertion was that the general case is that blocks are renewed "very quickly". This does seem to be true, since most blocks are placed due to ongoing edits. Thus, the blocked user will usually hit edit soon after the block is in effect.
