When research papers start out with "little is known about X", you must wonder if people actually need to know about X
Often bad ideas proliferate because people think a good idea must also be novel. On the contrary, if it’s really a good idea you’re unlikely to be the first to have had it
I tell people that the problem is not coming up with ideas, I think of a couple dozen of them a day. The real problem is knowing which of the damn things is any good for writing up. Most of them are junk. I have to let them roll around in my brain a while to find out which is which.
