That doesn't seem relevant to the discussion at hand. The question is "is it better if something happens earlier" and if, as you say, the median reaction time is 273 ms, that means that median player a will consistently be 3 ms faster than median player b if they react to the same event all else being equal. 273 ms will beat a total of 276 ms every time in a race to react.
