Yea, being into research isn't fun. Many scientists seem to use vocabulary most wouldn't understand; it's borderline hyperbolic. I used to do a lot of research. Now I leave it to guys like Alan and Lyle who love the stuff to filter it for me. I'm too busy training and living to care to waste that sort of time researching without biased.
I mean I still research if there's a particular thing I'm interested in.
But it's much, much less than what I used to do.
