Yes, but even the best scientists aren't born with knowledge of what came before. It has to be discovered, and where the discovery process is broken it needs to be fixed. On the individual level, "spend hours chasing rumors about the perfect paper that lives in the stacks, find out the physical stacks are on a different continent, and then sit down and struggle through a pile of shitty scans that are more JPEG artifact than text" makes sense because it's out of scope for a single PhD to fix the academic world, but on the institutional level the answer that scales isn't to berate grad students for failing to struggle enough with broken discovery/summarization tools, it's to fix the tools. Make better scans, fix the OCR, un-f** the business model that creates a thousand small un-searchable silos of papers -- these things need to be done.
