Wow, no. Just no. That's not how research is done. What you're describing sounds more like writing a clickbait article than writing a research paper. Writing a research paper in that manner would damage the researcher's credibility. A good research paper does lead with a discussion of related research and methodology and is careful to not accidentally make unfounded conclusions. In fact, some papers will include a "threats to validity" section, which I think is a good exercise in skepticism.
