Reading summaries online usually won't expose you to the nuanced arguments that philosophers craft to support their positions and challenge others'. They just tell you the conclusions. You are then in a poor position to challenge others' ideas because 1) you may be misunderstanding them or 2) they may have already refuted your position in the text. Sure some things drag on, but philosophers generally don't write lenghty treatises to torture us.
