First bit of advice: grow up. Be interested in research because you're curious, not because you're special and/or status-seeking.

This comment strikes me as rather confrontational, and also as offering advice based on a misguided understanding of my motives.

Until the word that comes to mind is "improve" rather than "save" you will be looking at the wrong questions for the wrong reasons.

I have very little clue of what you're trying to say.

Agreed that it is too confrontational.
