One's early research is specialized, and one doesn't know as much at that point. The perspective is narrower. You're not even going to be a a good generalist yet, because the total amount of things you know is limited. As knowledge and expertise grow, there can be less narrow projects. If you specialize intensely in one thing, you will have to know a lot of other things to understand it; you can come through on the other side with a knowledge both broad and deep. A good generalist will be a specialist on several different things.
