So the way I see it, it won't be right every time but is just one more tool for evaluating the player.
Ah, the time thing might be it.

I looked at an example of the test and thought to myself, "what's so difficult?" But if you throw the stipulation of a time limit out there, that makes it a bit more challenging -- and yeah, adds notable pressure.
