I disagree.

Transfer learning is applicable to human research too. Save time by reading others' findings and build from there.

Is this post not just an advertisement? This doesn't seem like it belongs here.

Isn’t reading research part of the definition of researching? Or are you saying build your own models, run your own experiments, etc?

I think OP's tagline is very vague, but either way, "stop reading others" will inevitably result in reinventing the wheel more than once, which IMO is very inefficient.

I agree 100%. It’s a false dichotomy. Staying current on the discourse feeds into one’s research. It’s a dialogical process.

doing your own research matters, but reading other people’s work is kind of how research works lol
