Or in fields where we're fighting the universe rather than each other, trying to make progress with your hero's strategy is probably going to be very difficult -- to the extent that there's such a thing as "raw intelligence," Einstein definitely had more of it than I do, so if I was going to look into physics, I'd not want to look at the problems he didn't complete, using his strategy! (of course, this is why fields build up an increasingly advanced framework, after the trailblazers have passed through).
