I think I agree with this—it’s usually the case that one particular sub-problem in an area is particularly informative to work on.
However, I think it’s at least possible that some areas are systematically very informative to work on. For example, if the primary work is research, then you should expect to mainly be outputting information. AI research might be like this.
