Certainly deserves to be pinned at the top. 
If I may add... I find that even in the short term, the longer I look, the more I see. Don't get a target in view and then spend all of 15 seconds on it before moving on. Allowing the eye to wander over the FOV for a while often reveals details that went unnoticed at first glance.
I don't know if more years of experience might negate this. Taking into account familiarity with detail that is attainable, as mentioned by Wayne, a more 'seasoned' observer may gain less from the prolonged observing of a single target. But I'd bet more seasoned observers typically linger over objects just the same.
