But with neurological understandings of the thought process and limitations of the woodchuck behaviour, being prone to function over passion, or more directly "Animals usually lived solitarily, each animal in the population establishing dominance-subordination relationships with those animals whose home ranges overlapped or met its own. " (Bronson) and "Gnawing by woodchucks is a common cause of mortality of young fruit trees in orchards in New England. Hence, gnawing associated with scent marking may affect survival of trees in natural habitats...In general, density of live woody stems increased as a function of distance from a burrow, although at the Southington site this relation was not monotonic... Thus, live stems became less abundant near burrows, and gnawing was more severe on stems near these entrances. " (Swihart and Picone) may indicate that the priority of a woodchucks behaviour is largely based on capability given the limitations of environment and dependencies there-of. David E. Davis also mentions the extent to which the environment affects a woodchucks behaviour.

With this knowledge of limitations on the behaviour of a woodchuck to follow an instinctive pattern, much like many animals, it is not unreasonable to infer that a woodchuck would chuck as much as a woodchuck could chuck given the time and lack of interference to other survival obligations. Nor is it unreasonable to claim the dependance of the woodchuck chucking wood relies on its' capability to do so. As with any concern of how much any entity can accomplish we must question whether the entity is capable of accomplishing the task at all. Making the question of if a woodchuck could chuck wood vital to understanding the quantity of wood the woodchuck would chuck.

Finally, with the accumulation of this knowledge, while we may never know with absolute certainty the future possibilities for woodchucks destiny of chucking wood, we can assert that capabilities are related to the intent of quantity of wood chucking for the woodchuck. Given, of course, the admission that how much the woodchuck could chuck is reliant upon more than intention to chuck and also the necessity to chuck wood. In a shorter summary;

A woodchuck would chuck as much as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood
