There's a funny response curve: folks who are super-diligent about note-taking practices or building simulations seem to generally end up with less insight than their somewhat-less-diligent neighbors. Maybe it's a explore/exploit thing? Or maybe just a wonk/gestalt thing?

The best theory I have is something like: it takes so much effort to do these "expert" reading practices now that such readers burn their willpower and mental energy on running those processes, rather than on the ideas themselves. But I don't know! Gives me pause!
