Reminds me of a study. It showed, that swearing enables you to tolerate pain better. It was simple. Two groups, both had to put their hands into ice water. The group that was allowed to swear could do it longer. I'd hypothesize, that programmers, who actually care about quality, swear more. Individuals with AD(H)D might have a have a lower tolerance to pain. This, coupled with wide open sensual channels and decreased impulse control, might be a contributing factor.
