When examining the question of "How would McCoy fare?," Wolfe responds:

"He wouldn't have a high testosterone level. He'd have a high cortisol level, indicating stress... think of the way we used to shout and curse at one another, not very pretty, certainly not genteel, but it sure kept the adrenaline flowing and the testosterone pumping.. Look at us now, all but strapped into our chairs, mute, trying to monitor six screens at once.. There's not a sound in here! It's like an insurance office. We're not fighting anyone about anything."
