Timing analysis is integral part of ASIC/VLSI design flow. Anything else can be compromised but not timing!

Why the hold time check is performed at the same clock edge? The hold check ensures that the new data, launched by a clock edge, doesn't arrive at the next flip-flop too quickly and corrupt the data ...
