Does this study have any bearing on "hammock-driven development" vs. the compulsion to start writing code (with or without TDD)?

Don't know why you're being downvoted, this actually came to my mind as well - I'm a big fan of HDD (thanks Rich!). I don't think this study has much bearing on it though; the study focused on "the average person", who arguably does not share the same propensity for deep thought as a developer who'd be attracted to HDD.

Perhaps because someone who downvotes without replying is the sort of person who would rather click than think.

Ironically.
