Interesting. It's been a long time for me, but I don't recall those sorts of effects.
What I meant was that the importance of concentration (or really any drug-enhanced something) varies a lot by activity. You might be add-as-hell, but in your daily life that's fine. OTOH, you might be "neurotypical" but up to something where any enhancement is felt.

I think it's important not to undersell the universal utility of focus. Even if you ignore the obvious physical advantages afforded by PED-stimulant drugs, like decreased reaction time or increased endurance. If you model decision making in a zero-sum adverserial context like football or chess as an OODA loop[1], then a drug that decreases your processing time and decision making time is going to grant you an advantage by shortening that OODA loop. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OODA_loop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OODA_loop
