Draw speed is a very limited element in a very dynamic encounter. Can it be the deciding factor?..sure. Is it likely to be? Probably not

... Seems that there are a couple of opposing opinions on the value of a fast draw here. It's either "hogwash" or it's important.
I personally have a hard time believing that using a timer to improve and validate my draw speed / effective first hit performance relative to others is "hogwash". ...

I would humbly suggest that drawing a gun without realizing it might be a problem. IMHO, the decision to draw should always be a conscious and deliberate one ... and as fast as can be done efficiently and safely.
You might even practice that with a timer, and that would not be "hogwash".
I would consider drawing without realizing a range scar of some kind or another.
... I'm not getting what the argument here is. If you have to think through everything step by step, you're wasting time and brain watts vs. dealing with the sitation itself. You don't think through braking a car. You just brake. ...
