I do understand your point, but I think it is a very small factor.
Computers main strength is in tactics, but as the humans get more time they do
not fall into these tactical traps. The games become much more positional or
strategical and that is not where computers excel.

You can try it for youself, download a winboard engine about you own strength,
and play it in time controls G/1, G/5 and G/15 etc. I'm pretty sure you can beat
it every time in G/120 if you have a ~50% score against it in blitz.
