What is the point of premove if you can't move that fast in proper chess?

Back when I played in OTB tournaments, there was a Canadian player who ALWAYS used to blitz out his moves, regardless of the time control or the opponent. He once beat an IM before the flag had fallen to signal the START of his allocated two hours of thinking time.

That's a failure of "proper" chess, not the other way around.

If I know the exact technique to win a 30 move endgame I should be allowed to play the moves and win.

Anyway, "proper" chess, as you called it, solves this problem by making all serious games have a delay or increment.
