WHY NOT DO IT? Ethics aside

You answered your own question.

These are the "brilliant" plays that have cut out several hands an hour since stalling became a regular tactic. As people seem to view it as "smart, tricky play" rather than the prisoner's dilemma defection that it is, we'll eventually have to lengthen the rulebook yet again. I don't think it's something to be proud of when new rules have to be introduced to deal with your brand of lameness.

With regards to the prisoner's dilemma of hurting both parties by eating up time, please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this the last hand of the night, and therefore made no difference either way? If it was, obviously your argument is further diminished.

Oops, about 30 minutes left, it appears. Still, a MUCH better chance at 12k more in chips at this stage is worth 2 or even 5 minutes. If you don't think so, you're lacking killer instinct for gentility.
