Timeouting as increasing trend

If players and decks are better, and players have a better knowledge and awareness of the game, they should be PLAYING BETTER and not letting games time out.

Nohing personal, but you as well as other people seem to think that a timeout is a bad thing (since you state that if they were playing better, games wouldn't time out). Why?

Many tables with excellent players will time out because they neutralize each other. The best player will try to maximize his points anyway.
