Buzzer timing is a major part of winning. Presumably this machine will have impeccable timing. The microsecond the buzzers activate it should be able to ring in first every time. Assuming it has a suitable answer selected. Not sure how it knows if it has an answer worth ringin in for.

During that Ultimate Championship tournament between Brad and Ken Jennings, Brad seemed to win largely because he was able to buzz in earlier than Ken again and again, and it looked like both of them knew most of the answers. I remember Jennings getting visibly frustrated when constantly beaten to the punch like that.
