I was there when someone was inviting Luke to watch the SuperBowl at a sports bar. Luke did not know SuperBowl was that day. He then politely turned down the invitation and went to work on a paper or some SIAI business.

Anyone I know would feel it was his right as a full-blooded American to not do work on Superbowl Sunday. I'm pretty convinced we're dealing with a significant outlier as far as productivity is concerned.

Well, to be fair, forgoing participation in Superbowl Sunday to work doesn't require extraordinary productivity. It could simply be a result of not giving a rat's ass about football. I know I don't.
