I may have poorly expressed myself, but this specific issue concerning the low delay, from a different perspective was supposed to be the "spicy" change that would bring a new look on the game.
I'm quite sure it was in the interest of bringing something new to the game, however the results have shown to be not as good as expected ( imo )
Which basically brings us back to your point of not having considered the full extend of what it would bring to or take from the game.
