> They can work hard all year long, or they can slack for some months and concentrate on their families more

Yeah, that's kinda not true. In academia, you have the freedom to work whichever 60-80 hours a week you want, but no one becomes a "star" (or even an "associate professor") by slacking for months at a time.
