    No offense intnded. But your anecdote is not evidence. Many studies have been done over this for many, many years.

    Perhaps you are an outlier and are more productive than the average.

    Or perhaps you are misinterpreting your productivity.

      I never claimed it is evidence, but in fact that research isn’t either. It’s basically just an opinion poll. With very poor systematics behind it. And the claim is next to baseless.
