More accurately, it flies in the face of your perception of the success
you've had. The successes are one thing, that is an objective fact (more
or less). But the mechanism of those successes, that is much harder to
pin down. If your brain is as peculiar as you suggest, I'm not sure I
trust the accuracy of those perceptions.

If it is not random, then it can be influenced.

So, we agree that working longer ("head in an interesting direction
related to what you are working on") will be likely to create more
results. I guess we have nothing to argue about!
