It is not a very good answer anyway. Not only can waiting negate such a defense, it means that even higher levels of ATR don't further improve defenses. Also someone moving faster should be harder to successfully hit, even if he doesn't change the way he fights to take better advantage of that extra speed.

A better answer would be that a speedster should also buy better defenses to represent the fact that he is hard to hit.
