The ego depletion effect seems intuitively surprising to me. Science is often unintuitive. I do know that it is easier to make forward-thinking decisions when I am not tired so I dont know.
I think that can be subtly confused by people thinking you can't get better at self control with practice? That is, I would think a deliberate practice of doing more and more self control every day should build up your ability to do more self control. And it would be easy to think that that means you have a stamina for self control that depletes in the same way that aerobic fitness can work. But, those don't necessarily follow each other.
I can't help chuckling at the idea that over 1.98 * 10^87 people were involved in the paper.

in fact, the foundational statistical models considered the gold standard for statistics today were developed for this testing.
Wow, what are the odds?
