Another problem is that the human may go with the knight to the direction c3 and change his(her) opinion in the last second to d2. If you hurry too much and do not attention that the knight is at d2 you may give the computer the wrong move. > >I watch the output, noting the best move so far.

The problem at tournament time control is that you do not know how much time the computer is going to calculate and you cannot be ready to move in the same speed that you do in blitz(fortunately losing some seconds per move are not very important at tournament time control).
