Even as a trained scientist, it can be really hard to identify the consensus view on things in a field, to identify when a paper is just an outlier, to know what the accepted standards of evidence in different fields are, etc. It takes a lot of time and effort even if you have the necessary tools.

too.)
too.)
“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?”

Undervalued part of innovation / standards development is having a publicly available "conversation partner" to learn from.
Just like learning a language, fluency comes through immersion in conversation.
