This article completely ignores the effect of teamwork. Most knowledge work is done in teams. Only the team's results latency and results throughput matters. However, an individual's total throughput ("results per unit time") is only one variable in the bigger equation. As an example using "bugs fixed" as a substitute for results, an individual who can fix a 10 hard bugs a week working only 8pm-12am might not be as valuable as someone who only fixes 5 hard bugs a week but is around 9am-5pm to e.g. mentor junior employees. As usual, the real answer is "It depends and you should manage your own situation according to your own circumstances."
