You have quite a few assumptions built into this question, whether you know it or not. Do you really think left wingers spend all day in books? How is the difficulty of something quantified? Considering how you phrase the question, there is clearly a lean here. How hard do you work at it? Surely, those at the top of the biggest political ideologies work incredibly hard at their craft. Though it can’t be unsaid that not all of them work honestly.

Not trying to be an enlightened centrist (because I’m not a centrist lmao). Simply acting as devils advocate here.
