I don't thing there's a conflict between your post saying that there's a lot of value in up to a few hundred hours of scholarship and thought on a topic and LukeProg saying the leading edge of the topic is broken and it's not worth devoting significant portions of a career on current academic practices.

Both are likely quite true.
