The problem is that if you do not take time back the opponent even without being sure if the sacrifice is correct may ask to take his last move back and win the game thanks to the time trouble of the opponent. A possible alternative is that only the side who did not ask to take the move back gets the time back but I think that the original idea is still better when you can add the possibility to ask to take time back without playing a move but only 3 times during the game. It gives the player more freedon in the game. In normal conditions it may be too risky to analyze an interesting move because in case that the move is wrong you will get to time trouble but in this case you may analyze it and in the worst case if you find that the move is wrong you will take the move back.
