Numenor, while your point is somewhat accurate in very, very specific situations I can assure you that those situations are few and far between. In the most extreme case, you are looking at .1s faster cast, which is roughly the same amount of time as the server ticks that were so popularized by Titan failures. In order to reach this .1s, you have to lose even more DPC, putting you even further behind in the case of anything less than perfect circumstances.

Your assumption that getting off ONE extra cast means you win the DPS race isn't entirely accurate. In the first example, 30 casts of 1017 = 30510 damage. 31 casts of 994 = 30814 damage, less than 1% change. I think everyone can agree that is far more reliant on luck than Harold here is making it out to be.

You can try to change what Harold is saying but what he actually said was quoted. Neither of those things are true and show that, despite his supposed prowess at BLM, he seems to not understand something very basic.
