If you are following a topic for a while, then of that 60+ references you will have already read most of the important ones, the path of the authors took is one that you would have taken on your own after some thinking and the technicalities are precisely the ones you would have expected or have seen in a similar result. What once took you a month to understand now takes you an hour. Of course while that might give you solace, it will not help you now. The only way to get to that point is to continue reading papers. | |

The commonality of most answers is pick your battles: knowing how to read a single paper thoroughly is important, but so is being able to read around more widely by reading many papers shallowly. | |
