Actually, independent thought or original information is welcome to anyone with a brain, as long as the author shows his/her work such that it can be verified and reproduced by others. You don't need a ton of references to the work (and conclusions) of others if you do a complete job yourself.
There is a reason for the joke publication _The Journal of Irreproducible Results_, started in 1955. So many "scientific" publications have this little tiny problem: no one can duplicate the work.
