A fun way to see this: slow-maxxing is not less effective or efficient if the "normal" work around it is high quality. Kinda like a barbell strategy of sorts, mix of hyper-relaxed and hyper-genuine activities. Work deep, play deep. Weirdly enough most EA people fails to do this well, therefore they whilst following the "cheems mindset" fails to follow their intention.
