Yes, so what? Why do you think that is a relevant remark? The better moves
won't help you at all, if the opponent also does better moves. The result
will be the same. And the rare cases it is not, on the average cancel each
other.

So for the umptiest time:
NO ONE DENIES THAT LONGER THINKING TIME PRODUCES SOMEWHAT BETTER MOVES.
THE ISSUE IS THAT IF BOTH SIDES PLAY WITH LONGER TC, THEIR WINNING
PROBABILITIES WON'T CHANGE.

And don't bother to to tell us that you are also convinced that the
winning probabilities will change, without showing us proof. Because no
one is interested in unfounded opinions, not even if they are yours.
