Did she really say two or three _hundred_ feet?  That's not even one
short session with a few boards.  Are you sure she didn't say 2 or 3
thousand feet?

Unless you regularly work with 100 foot long boards, 200-300 LINEAL feet of 
lumber is a lot of wood (for example, 300 lineal feet of 1x6s would be 37 and a 
half 8 foot boards

Not to the planer. Let's assume you need to reduce 4/4 rough stock to
3/4".  On a 12" planer that's probably 3 passes at 1/16" (or less) each.

Therefore, each 8 foot board represents 24 lineal feet of wear and tear to
the planer (e.g. you hit the same knot up to three times).

Your 37.5 boards are suddenly 12.5 boards between cleanings.

Just a small flame for a Monday morning ;)

 Not true, a lineal foot is not a board foot(a foot of string and a foot
of road is still a foot)but your right a football field run of wood is
alot.

That's assuming you only do one pass on one side of each board. More 
realistically, you're doing 2 or 3 passes per side. So, 200-300 lineal
feet works out to about six of those 8' boards.
