The reason for the "no delay", is they really do not want you to wait for the radial to center prior to turning to the assigned heading. This is for spacing with LAX departures. They also need you at about that radial for noise reasons prior to turning so they don't say intercept it. Basically if you can see outside, at aprox. the shore line, is where the radial comes into play and you turn.

I can not stand the noise nazi's of S. Cal though. It is rediculous. Get a life. Does 1db make a noticeable diff? Not to me. All these noise nazi's do is reduce a margin of safety to show on paper that they are responding to the local's complaints.
