I'm no Code-mancer, but i see what you mean. If the Delay causes such a hiccup in the working variables, then its better left alone.
And the Example above about the randomness is quite appealing. The misses are not otherworldly big and seem quite plausible.
After all those were all trained men where guesswork was concerned!
A nice find with the Seabed Repair Mod too. Since I use the one in your GUI. Will have to tweak it a bit after you 'adjustment' are done.
