The obvious answer is that thinking well is not a terminal value.
It's like asking "why do people play Quake? You don't learn anything from it, plus it makes you tired and uses up time that could have been used for thinking."
A better example is that getting into bed with an attractive person of the preferred sex usually stops one from "thinking well" :-D
