No, I didn't intend 333 to mean half of 666, but you may have something there. [18*2 + 9] = two and a half times around the golf course ;) Aside from any analysis you may engage in surrounding normal beings, compulsive behavior in the more clinical sense, which I suspect we all possess to some degree, can be far more gripping for some than for others. Many surpass a threshold, beyond which there is little hope for many without a bolt of lightning striking them in the form of an epiphany, or some other manifestation of outside help. Here I'd invite our resident behaviorist and clinician, Sara Wedeman, to chime in. Take, for example, how I and some others I know took to Ham Radio fifty years ago as kids. We'd lose track of the time during all-nighters, while striving to rack up "worked-all-states" certifications and foreign DX connections. Others could take it or leave it and close down their shacks during a normal, civilized hour. It was hell, but lots of fun, now that I think back. All of that changed, of course, when puberty arrived, and then it was time to obsess about something else. All of which, I suppose, lays proof to one of your earlier points ;) ------
