Good point!

So my strategy with the fundamentals are a dead end in other words. I would therefore rephrase your last sentence to:

"Stagnate on old methods, die on old methods."

My focus on fundamentals was really not productive. The people that I referred to as "naysayers" were right. I was wasting my time learning about fundamentals and stuff aka reinventing the wheel to understand why something works.

Hmmm... I need to reflect on my old perceptions and views now and error correct or rather "bugfix" my brain.

Thank you too! :)

Edit: to clarify what my goal was in all this: Basically, if you understand or rather know something deeply you have "power" (as knowledge will give you power). But again this way of thinking seems to be deeply flawed and employers don't appreciate it apparently.
