No. If the computer takes longer to ask you if you want to switch
after you chose correctly this could be perceived, consciously or
unconsciously, and affect your choice.

Can you produce an honest refutation of the Rhine experiments?

You seem to guarantee that everyone will be wrong 2/3rds of the time.
There is no guarantee.

I think it's possible. 
Are you using the same "random number" generator for both sides of the
game? They could accidently line up and the computer contestent could
choose correctly 100% of the time, and switching 100% of the time it
would lose 100% of the time.

I'm curious, what percentage of the time will the game be won if the
computer contestant switches it's choice 2/3s of the time?

Cheers,
