I think I would change the thesis to "The quantity of UNREAD hardcopy
printed during the project is inversely proportional to the quality".

Good people do only what they need to do, bad people do more (or less).
Sometimes (and you don't care when) I think I need hardcopy, so I get it.

One guy at my last job seemed to print about 70-100 pages of source
a day.  Usually he wouldn't even bother to pick it up from the printer
room.  Fortuneatly, with skills like this he generated very little new
code... so we didn't have to ignore much.
