It takes far less than one minute to determine that "Three Little Pigs," "Thousand Nights and a Night," and "Hamlet" do not need spoiler warnings. Using a more reasonable estimate of six seconds to scan an article to determine if the spoiler tag is there to protect some revelation on the order of someone dying in one of Shakespeare's tragedies, we find that 45000 articles can be corrected by 100 editors in (gasp) 45 minutes.
To be fair, I did zap 10-20,000 {{spoiler}} tags personally.
I note also that although I tried not to hit any article twice, I did inadvertently in some cases, and those who wanted the spoilers on were not reluctant to tell me so on my talk page. These were erroneous and I did and do apologise for such cases.
