Surely someone with your proficiency in computer science would understand how simple it is to exploit this system via extremely simple scripts and how unlikely it would be to ever be detected doing so "beyond a reasonable doubt" right?

Just so we're on the same page
Yes, you could cheat in a manner that goes undetected. But if it is undetected, how can we punish someone for it?[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You could increase your start time by lets say 40ms with a script. But in my example, there is already a 190ms difference if the two people have equal reaction times. So instead of a difference of 190ms, you would see a difference of 230ms. Sadly that is within the margins of ping. That is why you can't even begin to check if cheating occurred unless you had proper logs of everybody's ping, and the time it took to send and receive the data.
