"We tie a heavy chain around our ankle and
then whine that we can hardly keep our head above water treading...   If
this kind of self-handicapping makes us into olympic swimmers, then I suppose I'm all for it... but it reminds me a bit too much of Vonnegut's "breakfast of champions" theme!"

Similar psychology:  Putting off writing a talk in order to get results you "like" better, but that no one else will notice.   No, I would never do that!
