I was under the impression you couldn't ring in until the question as read completely.
yeah. the advantage watson has is that he knows the answer before the humans can even process it, and is already searching, compiling, whatever, before the humans get a chance to buzz in.
the text for him is instant--maybe a few milliseconds. the humans would be stupid to not at least take 1 or 2 seconds to go through the question--whether or not they listen to Alex--before they consider timing their buzzer when allowed to do so.
point being, they aren't ever able to "compile" their answer in the same amount of time that Watson has. I think it's a great advantage--but maybe not great enough...
....because humans kick ass.
