Ah yes, the pressure of a timer would certainly be detrimental, theoretically. But in reality, conversations are often overly drawn out and meander into territory that ultimately has no purpose; a chess clock would prevent this superfluousness and keep the conversation on track. It's true that conversations need to flow naturally, but not at the cost of meaningful progress. It's important to remember that though conversations are a form of communication between two people, they should also have direction, which a chess clock can help ensure. So if UrRong is thinking that conversations should not come with a chess clock, think again!
