I disagree.

Junior could find Bh6 against piket if it has more time and in this case piket
could not get the position that junior does not understand(in this case less
time could also help Junior but I think that seeing deeper is more productive
than counter productive).

More time could probably also help Junior against kramnik because a few plies
after Kh8 it could see a drop in the evaluation and these few plies include
captures that are not quiet moves.
