There is no harm in ignoring results temporarily. There is a huge difference between ignoring a result and attacking it. Benign neglect is okay.
Ignoring the results until you assimilate enough applicable knowledge to understand it. But how long does it take for the observer to understand what needs to be done to get up to the proper speed.
