I think that’s a more reasonable stance if people has say 10 minutes for inspection. 12 seconds is applying real time pressure and then the format just ignores that pressure, which is silly.

The format isn’t a pure test of manipulation skills or solving skills but a hybrid of both with much heavier weight on manipulation skills.

10 minutes is likely too long, at that point it would be possible to execute and memorise a full solution during inspection. The time would come down to who can make ~40 turns fastest from memory.
