Is deeply, deeply flawed.
Not all 'research' is equal. If your initial research has brought you to this point in the first place, then I think your biases and techniques really need to be brought into question.
And frankly...I'd hesitate to say that an individual such as this would be qualified to not only 'do their own research' but perhaps shouldnt be given the liberty to actually make up their own minds or decide anything for themselves more complex than what they're going to have for breakfast.
Even then...

This is part of the brain washing through. If you lead people to get their own conclusions and accept them to be true even if they are a variant of your conclusion you empower them vs trying to hammer them with fact
