Ok, you make a good point there MI, I didn't really associate "letting go" with how fast you can press a button/multiple buttons. Someone with faster fingers will still be faster, if your timing is better than your opponents, you will still do it better, especially those critically time saving shadows that make your worm fall backwards, which REALLY helps in Ropers where the part to connect rope once you fall below is further inland than the part sticking out on top.
You won that little battle MI, but you still lost the war lol.
