Shoftim are leaders. They get their power after being anointed, which shows a distinction that results "from their works." Shimshon was a Nazir too and his Nazirus highlights his distinction, his independence. Shoftim had military strategies but their power is from their "kedushah." Shimshon fought battles by himself further hightlighting the separation that comes from distinguished actions. R' soloveitchik)
So the Manalists have swapped 'their works' for Brisker lomdus and switched distinct ion through avodah to cloistering and not caring about the world.
All of life to them is gemara lomdus so you wind up actually not doing works.
