Subject: I still don't get it: time increment, why?

Many testers (specially in Germany) play their test games with x basic minutes +
y seconds increment. What is the benefit of this kind of hydrid level really?
I still prefer to play x moves in y minutes . Of course reason for increment is
to make time losses almost impossible, but this is wrong way I think. If engine
loses on time it's engines own fault and should punish for that end of
discussion! With x/n You can count tournament time by estimating around 70 moves
in each game.

Alternatively You can of course play game in x minutes but still no increment
needed.
