It's about time to change these rules

In Response To: It's about time to change these rules (Phil Simborg)

"I believe that the 12 second delay could be cut to 10 seconds (that will make a big difference and 10 seconds is all that is needed for many moves), and that the total time should be cut in half. If you want to make the finals 1.5 minutes per game, I can understand that"

Your argument why is that faster is better. But why is 10 sec delay and 1 min per point reserve the best value? The exact same arguments you are making now could still be made.

Whatever time control is used I think it should be the same throughout the tournament.
