I do agree on this, but I think that if technicaly possible (and not too
complicate), the "right" solution for this is :

- debit the time between roll and dice pick up
- stop the clock during analysis of move
- if the warning for doubtful/bad/very bad moves appears,
  pressing hint or rethink wil restart the clock

Similar thing for cube decisions.
