I'm directing too many games and watching too much bad bridge these days, but one thing I would like to see is:
Autoplay Singletons: make it known that the software will insert a RANDOM delay of 0.7-2 seconds before playing -- nobody wants to select this if it is a shotgun play that screams singleton.
Once this is done, make it mandatory for players with 'confirm plays' on to use it. They're already slow enough in clicking twice to confirm their no-option plays. Trick 13 should not take a half-minute to play, ever.

You are of course right, but I don't think the lower limit should be as high as 0.7 seconds, otherwise you get the opposite problem (instant bid = cannot be singleton). Ideally it would depend upon player's usual fastest bid.
