Bronstein vs Simple delay

Or we change the backgammon clock rules to specify Simple Delay rather than Bronstein. In my opinion, Simple Delay is... simpler. If the goal is to get people comfortable with the idea of clocks, the last thing we want is a timekeeping system that is difficult to explain and understand. Since the two methods are identical, except for a one-delay difference in reserve time, we should use the method that is more intuitive.
