The moment you are busy figuring out the exact hitpoint of your opponent, you don't have the chance to spar the way you'd like to spar, as simple as that.
For the last time, it doesn't matter that 'its not their fault' and 'they like to spar'. if you want to protect spar, you have to oppose those people instead of saying 'ah well yes delay is sort of negative but I like challenges of that nature'. Delay is NOT a challenge, it is a PROBLEM. and of course everybody needs to learn how to fight delayers, but that does NOT mean delay is some sort of spar strategy or technique. you are doing appeasment by calling a problem a challenge which puts you on one level with the people who glorify hackers because 'at least they are entertaining'
and again, that goes @ all other players too, most of them simply already are stuck in their mental jail for so long that even I cannot save them
