Are you actually in favor of smarter people doing less research than they currently do?

Downvoted for this piece of empty rhetoric.

Upvoted; I think this is a good downvoting policy but hope that whoever uses it takes the time to point out what they perceive as empty rhetoric. (I think the habit of spouting such rhetoric is particularly poisonous and particularly easy to stop, making it rather worth the effort of correcting.)
