I would hope there's significant amount of neurological research predating paulg's 2009 essay. Does anyone know? Is this just a version of "don't interrupt someone in the state of flow"? Csikszentmihalyi spent decades researching that.

Why you bother Oog with request for round smashing rock? Go bother Uug, Uug perfectly capable of picking round rock for smashing, or go to river and pick one yourself.”
