I have avoided reading scientific literature that plays on my playground for a long time. Last few times I tried I couldn't really concentrate on it and consequently wouldn't really understand the data and implications that the authors wanted to make. That had a lot to do with fear of failure and thinking that I am not good enough. Thus I went into hiding and ran from it a lot.
Now I am finally taking the simple steps and am coming out of my shell again. Reluctantly I gave reading some rather specific papers a try ... and boy oh boy, not only do I completely understand the reasoning, data, and implications, I also clearly see the flaws and over-interpretations and am able to articulate them (the latter being something I had always had my problems with).
Needless to say that I am happy and blown away
