Being able to do something, and being willing to do it for other people for minimum wage are two very different things.

Stamina is part of "being able." So pay strawberry pickers more, gotcha.

Or have the physicists alternate days picking berries. It would get them out in the sunshine with plenty of time to think, and on lab days they could stretch out their aching backs by reaching into the top corner of the whiteboard to write equations.

When you asked if they could do those things "correctly," I didn't think you meant for an entire season as a laborer. I thought you were asking if they could perform the task once without mistakes.
