That's a really good point, actually. There's another factor in there as well: to wit, quite frequently the small-important things are what leads to the really big-important things – like the photoelectric effect inspiring quantum physics.
I can't really work on big-important in this context, anyway – it's a Master's, not a post-doc. But I do want to make knowledge that will be helpful fifty years from now.
