This hits too close to home.
It’s like…you spend like a solid couple of days grabbing EVERYTHING tangentially related. But you just end up reading the one old paper on your thing, the biggest semi-recent papers of sub-subjects 1 and maybe 2, and then whatever was last published about your thing.
It’s not good practice but like… there are so many relevant-enough-to-cite papers.
