The point of research is literally for smart cookies to do the hard mental legwork and then package their conclusions in a way that makes sense to people who know less about the subject.
Like... that's the point. That's the whole reason research exists.
If you're "researching" just for personal growth, then you aren't researching, you're just learning. Researching is for sharing.
And you seem perpetually upset when people ask you to demonstrate certain basic aspects of your research, such as falsifiability.
No legitimate researcher in history tells people to do their own research. They became researchers to prevent people from having to do that. They have a desire to boil things down for people. That's why they're researchers, and not monks locked away in a temple meditating.
So it's fine if this is the way you want to approach Q, but just note that if you aren't actually willing to share your research, explain your conclusions, defend against peers, and aim to boil it down for those who are less-learned, then please don't call yourself a researcher. Because those are the things researchers do.
Q enthusiast would be fine. Perhaps a fan of Q. A learner of Q. But not a researcher.
