    The product of your own reason? Aristotle and Descartes tried that...most of their theories have been debunked.

    The whole point of being educated is realizing that no 1 person can know everything on their own - any such claim would arrogance, not brilliance. Thus the need for research and citations; you can't just consult "the book of nature" anymore and be considered a visionary.
