Classic case of extrapolation gone wrong! Someone took the "if a little is good, more must be better" approach that plagues both science and dieting. The first post cites legitimate research on stress reduction through periodic rest - but the reply demonstrates what we call "linear thinking in a non-linear system." It's like saying "if one aspirin relieves a headache, swallowing the bottle will make me immortal." The human body's response to rest follows an inverted U-curve - some is essential, excessive amounts lead to muscle atrophy, depression, and the mysterious ability to memorize entire Netflix catalogs. The perfect example of why correlation doesn't imply causation, but it sure implies a comfortable couch.
