This really isn't much.

Maybe you should learn what a supervisor actually does first before you embark on any project, as you don't understand what is required to run a successful project. It is certainly far more than just telling a student to read a book.

Most supervisors have ethics. They won't let you do a project without prerequisites if they think that you could do much better after doing the prerequisites.

And if you really want to argue this point, go talk to Dr Daniel Daners. He's nice and will tell you why it's just not feasible.
