Why should I not simply work 24 hours a day, every day of the year? This way no one can out compete me.

You're forgetting to account for sleep time, time to eat, and at least one bathroom break a day.

Yes, and I was sarcastically replying to you in earnest ;-)
But I think you're making a slippery-slope argument. We're not actually talking about increasing the workweek, but whether to shorten it. In fact, there is simply no denying that there is a non-zero correlation between productivity and # hours worked, so finding the right balance is key.
