Re: Highly important paper!

2008-03-20 Thread Berg, David J. Dr.
Isn't the relationship probably more like the intermediate disturbance 
hypothesis?  Productivity would seem to increase with increasing alcohol 
consumption up to a point, before then decreasing with further increases in 
consumption.  Certainly many of the beer-fueled discussions I've had at 
meetings have taken that trajectory.

Now, if I could just find that point of maximum productivity...  Probably 
requires more observations.

I offer a related speculation; the number of sent emails is inversely related
