And how much time do you think is involved to keep up to date on everything, versus being at the bare minimum?
Ever read a paper, say from Nature magazine, that is slightly outside of your field? Know how long that takes?
I may have been a little harsh, didn't mean they are obsolete. But don't expect them to be 100% up to date, because its unreasonable.
