Consumption of amphetamines also restores willpower in laboratory settings. The main question is what strategy is sustainable for optimizing mental performance. A one-shot lab study will not give salient answers to that.
You’re technically right—laboratory experiments probe proxy measures in unrealistic settings. And that’s the only kind of evidence we can really expect from them.
That’s why the main thing I was asking about in this post is not if this theory is true (random speculation here will not answer this), but what would be the best ways to exploit it assuming it was true.
