I’m glad the comments here vilify this terrible “nugget of wisdom.” Details really do matter, far more than people realize. The ones who chase down every ball (Djokovic, Nadal) are the ones who win tournaments year over year. Once the goal is defined, focusing on the details is how the goal comes to fruition. In research, as long as the problem is unsolved, interesting, and has nuance, something good will come of investigating it, even if no one else in the world cares about it.
