I've played with it a lot.  I think that a 1/3 second delay goes a
long way to preventing accidental activation, but likely isn't long
enough to prevent discovery, especially in a classroom full of kids.
If everyone tests it out with a delay in this range and agrees, we
could institute a delay between 1/3 and 1/2 second by default and
probably provide a better out-of-the-box experience.
