Actually, this is heavily criticized by almost anyone sensible in the field: see for example this post by Nate Soares, director of MIRI.
This also tends to be the opinion/take of people who never did work like research, which require to create something. I never met or heard of a single productive researcher that didn’t actually spend a lot of their time not explicitly doing research but chilling to get some idea/stew on some concept, and every professor I met complains that they don’t have enough time to do research, which also includes taking walks in the park with your research faintly on your mind.

The link is broken. Did you mean to link to this post?
My bad, I corrected the link. No, that was another post, but the one you linked is also good.
