I disagree. Inspection time is an arbitrary innovation that is no more inherent to speedcubing than a particular color scheme. It has allowed for some really cool innovation in methods that would not have been feasible without it, and for that reason as well as continuity in records I think it ought to be maintained.I am not sure if you should take part in such a discussion, as you are not even speedcuber. Inspection is essential to speedcubing, because it helps to optimize the total solving time by allowing you to plan ahead and optimizing the time is accompanying us from the very beginning of the WCA (improvement in the hardware, allowing stickerless, concaved, pillowed cubes, ridges, florian holes etc). It helps us to determine who is better than another.. Without inspection majority of people would do almost-random or very inefficient moves just to have illusion of a progress. You can't show your true potential and skill if you start straight away. That doesn't sound like fun at all.
