As they say, you give a smart person enough time to make a decision, they'll make the most intelligent one every time. However, when you rush them, sometimes they won't have time to consider all their options, and they might make what would be considered a "mistake" (I'm sure, in a situation like Twilight was in, if you had her powers, your instinct to survive would override your better judgment to protect everything you could). And that's even assuming she could make a strong enough barrier in time.
