Um... no. The thoughts do not cause the dwarf to slow down - the thoughts are a result of the pre-existing [[40d:Status icons|status]], which is what both slows them down and causes the thought.  That is, they get hungry, and the slow down and have the thought.  This is like saying that if a dwarf has a bad thought about losing their foot to magma, the bad thought is what burned their foot off.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 20:22, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Effects of Thoughts

As of DF2010, some negative thoughts make the dwarf work much more slowly.  The dwarf will
continue to work for a time, presumably until the negative thought becomes unbearable, and 
then will go attempt to resolve the thought by eating, sleeping, drinking, or some other action.

Um... no. The thoughts do not cause the dwarf to slow down - the thoughts are a result of the pre-existing status, which is what both slows them down and causes the thought. That is, they get hungry or tired or whatever, and then they both slow down and have the bad thought about the cause. This is like saying that if a dwarf has a bad thought about losing their foot to magma, the bad thought is what burned their foot off.--Albedo 20:22, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
