> nicotine receptors make meaningless behavior meaningful as if you expend effort on it

*nicotinic receptors, which are activated by acetylcholine. But I only saw nicotine mentioned once in the paper, and in the titles of two citations.

To me, it seems like a big stretch to say that nicotine "makes meaningless behavior meaningful" - could you explain how that's supported by the paper's data?

In boxing, you do not talk your opponent through as you knock him out.

In research, pick any field, say, astronomy, you do not mention that Earth is not flat and that the Earth orbits the Sun.

In biochemistry research, you do not spell out that nicotine binds to NICOTINIC acetelcholine receptors as an agonist, that's literally Biochem 101.
