In contrast, one of my teachers expressly cautioned me against spending time sleepwalking into others' results. Instead he recommended learning about the state-of-the-art of a subject and the current open problems. Too much is known, and life is too short.
that's pragmatic, i suppose.. I'm sure your teacher didn't mean "just take the theorems and run", though.. you've got to refine your mathematical "sniffing skills" somehow by walking in the dark somewhere new. I feel like in a lot of ways that skill is independent of the subject
