If you cant do that, maybe you just shouldn't be a pilot.
It's okay and helpful to study ahead, but you need to be aware of potential pitfalls. If you're not aware of pitfalls, it's best to wait. I think Zero is saying you should be careful you don't screw yourself up, and only you know how your mind works. As for the law of Primacy, it is definitely not BS. You gotta respect the way your brain works, but you also have to respect the way your crew's brains work. So if you think you'll benefit from leaning in early, do so. Just make sure you can approach the material in a way that doesn't contaminate what you need to know with what you already know.
Taking a type rating course somewhere else is overkill and probably negative training.
