No they would not. Even if you introduce a 10 sec delay, there will still be someone which will be first after the 10 sec pass, and you can still create models which will be tuned to predict what the price will do 10 sec into the future.

And what do you think about a law which forces all news agencies to wait 1 hour before reporting major news, so that everybody gets a chance to report it, and not only the huge agencies/papers like AFP of NYT.

GP specifically said "a bit of random latency". Don't change the terms of his argument to make it easier for you to refute, that's dishonest.

There's no reason HFT can't or wouldn't exist even if you add random latency.
