Obsessed people get more work done. Coming up with an idea is not the heavy lifting. I'm convinced that all those who we label as geniuses in virtually none of the cases came up with the ideas themselves. Their genius lies in seeing how other peoples ideas could be applied to something practical. And that mostly requires hard work. We admire them for having the energy and clarity of thought to know that faith in something other people think is wonky... is in fact a good idea.

But testosterone doesn't do this. Testosterone doesn't give men more energy or clarity of thought. It just makes us, (men) make rash decisions and think that dominating others is a very important thing. If anything its counter productive because it takes away focus from the actual problem. I guess that it can help men defend their ideas when they're attacked before bearing fruit. Which might be a factor. he he. I don't hang around enough geniuses to know.
