Productivity of the Norsemen

Pundits the world over laud the Nordic countries for their education, social cohesion, work ethic, productivity etc.

That was on display yesterday - it took 10+ Pakistani terrorists to knock off 200 Indians but just one Norseman to kill 80 of his brethren.

That implies a productivity difference of 4:1, which I suspect is about what it is in business.

Or is it just the ancient ancestry of loot and pillage?

Alas, one can never tell if anything is due to nature or nature.
