alt Hacker NewsAgreed; also a kind of recursive placebo tends to happen in my experience:
10 You recognise your thinking (or some other desirable activity) has improved
20 You're excited about it
30 You engage more with the thinking (or other activity)
40 You get even better results
50 Even more excitement
60 GOTO 30

But you also do not need paper to think, but surely much of modern physics would not have happened without paper or blackboards…
