Well, I don't entirely say to always take the path of least wall clock time. After all, I would alert a player who is clearly unaware that he is low on time rather than bite my lip so that the match ends sooner with a flag. I'd say the goal is to take the path that increases the pace of play rather than to win on time. And with the Stick principle, I see no conflict in steering the game to longer, more complicated positions if the opponent has put himself in time trouble by thinking too long earlier in the match. The key is that those long complicated games should be played at a proper pace, with full knowledge of the time constraints and the players live with the consequences if they fail to do so.
