Fake new premoves

The concept of premove is ludicrous at best, and nefarious at worst. I have no idea where anyone came up with the idea that moving BEFORE your opponent moves is a good/sound/fair idea. Sure, both can use it, but in reality only clock jockeys rely upon it to inflate their bullet rating. Typically, they move so quickly in the opening as to build up an insurmountable clock advantage, and/or just fritter away the end game with almost no attempt at mate. It's pathetic. Worse still is this arrogant notion that Chess.com is some bastion of chess, yet it has this bastardized version of speed chess where clock jockeying is rewarded.
