just saying that I disagree since there's no need to repeat reasons

If you're going to have inspection at all - and that isn't necessarily guaranteed - the only thing that makes sense is to pick one number and stick with it, since any number will be as arbitrary as any other. 15 seconds is reasonable as a limit, and has already been used for every competition the WCA has ever run. Changing it now would make no sense.

I'm pretty sure this idea has already been dropped for this year. It doesn't seem like there's much enthusiasm for it, so I really doubt it will happen.
I still sort of wish it had always been no inspection; it seems like inspection time is strange to the casual observer, and it is true that you mentally begin to solve the puzzle as soon as you first see it. From my perspective, the time required to solve a puzzle is the time from when you first see it until the time when it is solved. We would be able to do away with the stopwatches too, which are responsible for a large amount of the complexity and problems when judging.
But that ship has already sailed. I think we should stick with 15 seconds, since we already have it and it's impractical and unreasonable to eliminate inspection entirely.

Its your choice if you use the full 15 seconds or not...
