I agree with what you mean.
But do you read all the medical literature before going to a doctor when something just feels weird?
Or, somewhat differently, do you read the source code of all packages on your computer to ensure there is no malware?
I'm a universalist as much as I can, but there's a reason specialization, division of labor, results in productivity increase. Somewhat funny that Kant himself also argued for division of labour, just a year after publishing the Enlightenment article, [0].
