I don't believe that the difference can be explained just by adjustments. If you go through the actual matches, Stick makes some whoppers in live play that can't be defended as adjustments. They're just mistakes.

I feel that an important part of the equation is that Stick doesn't play live matches enough. I listened to a lecture by World Chess Champion Viswanathan Anand who said that an important part of his training was to play with a real chessboard against an assistant who had access to a chess engine. He found that if he just stared at the computer screen all day, then somehow his knowledge wouldn't transfer so readily to live play as much as you would think it would. Playing with a real board against a live opponent was important psychologically.
