I don't agree with you. In Go, before starting a sequence on the board you have to think a lot about the different possible sequences and the outcomes. You need to think about what you get finally and is there anything better. But when the sequence is started, you have the different variations in mind, and you check if all go ok. Some can also be forced, so you don't have to think so much for theses.
So, for me, it's clear that some moves need lot of reflexion and other need can be responded almost imediately. Byo-yomi alocate a constant time for each moves. So you have to take some time, when responding to a forced move, to think a little about another move that you may do in the future. But this is difficult to do, and most peaoples don't use fully each period.
