I think it's simply because nobody knows how to do it.
My own theory is that most superprogrammers have an internal
methodology generally at odds with much of what they have been taught.
When asked about it, most people being terrible at introspection, they
simply recite standard dogma, and their productivity remains a
mystery.
Naturally enough, I've been trying to decode this very process for
some time. As one of Ashleigh Brilliant's pot shots goes, "I have no
solution, but I admire the problem!"
