I agree. Where, for example, is the data on writers in general?
Writing, of any sort, is not a social activity. You sit alone and type. Or you sit alone and read things that you or others have typed. Or you sit and fret about the things that you're not typing.
It's hard for me to take this study seriously when I can close my eyes and imagine James Thurber's results. Or Harlan Ellison's. Or Hunter S. Thompson's.
