Re: Some sums
I think it is just the opposite. I think people breakdown sometimes from lack of exertion.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Yes, they may not even know it until they try to exert.

No danger of that. Most do not ever exert themselves.
