Normally, when working on something important, a character will eventually have to stop. Fatigue, starvation, or even just enemies bursting into the workplace will put a damper on anyone's study habits. There are also moral reasons to stop--thestop—the experiment is a crime against nature, the "volunteer's" crying finally gets to you, etc. There's no shame in taking a break.

When these guys get involved--orinvolved—or perhaps we should say ''[[Science-Related Memetic Disorder|obsessed]]''--with—with a project, they ignore all distractions. The prisoner's crying? I don't hear anything. Crime against nature? I haven't been outside in ten years, so I don't really care. Food, sleep? Obstacles. And enemies jumping into the lab are like volunteers you don't have to hunt down with a taser.
