Tech victory the easiest/fastest way to win??

Some great discussions on having a "domintion" victory to shorten influence/conquest games, but until that arrives, is tech victory a bit too easy?  At some point with your military, you can just go on the defensive, and ramp to a tech victory before the AI knows what the heck is going on.  Looking back at all of my influence wins (I dont think I've ever had a conquest, as influence vicotry always pops first), it would have been far faster to have gone to a tech victory once I had achieved dominance.

I think this is pretty much true for Ascension and Influence too tbh - the AI's inability to put any pressure on the player makes these victory options a little bit of a cakewalk atm (of course, conquest is too, but at least requires more effort). Presently, I keep Influence on just to act as 'fake domination'; I turn research, turn limit and ascension off.
