Your scenario is exactly why I looked into making the sync time faster. I am often on the phone making notes, appointments, changing contact info and then within minutes am out the door and back into my car off to see another client. When I'm on the road the information I usually need right away is usually the most recently added (client phone numbers, appointments with pertinent notes added to them, etc). Before MobileMe I would have to sync my phone (via USB) one last time which is painful to wait for or just not practical and often times not done at all because of it. To all the "haters," nobody said you have to change your sync time so if you don't like it, don't do it. Furthermore, it doesn't have to be set to 1 minute - even 10 or 5 minutes is better than 15.

Improving the syn to make it faster - I agree in 100% - but again syncing every 1 minute is not going to solve the problem.
I can hardly call myself as 'network guru' as you named it, but only what I'm saying is that technology is limited and doing against it won't save you nor improve the performance of syncing.
More likely sooner or later you'll find yourself not being able to sync at all due to all users setting up sync every 1 min... so encouraging it is not a solution to the bigger problem.

Why not going for a healthier solution to all - if you are worried about missing some events you've just entered - just sync before you leave.
