Oct 26, 2015 at 19:37 comment added scientific_explorer Quora answer I was under that impression because of that answer.
Oct 26, 2015 at 19:08 comment added ff524 "Replicate the experience" implies "try to reproduce as closely as possible the kind of training that happens in grad school." Presumably "the specific kind of training that happens in grad school" may not be the only way to become an independent researcher, though - if you are training yourself to become an indepent researcher outside of grad school, replicating the grad school approach may not be the most effective way.
Oct 26, 2015 at 19:06 comment added scientific_explorer Isn't it the point of grad school to train one self to learn the trade of research as an apprentice so as to become an independent researcher, whether or not we collaborate with other people?
Oct 26, 2015 at 19:06 comment added ff524 Related (though not exactly the same): Are there any aspects of PhD work that do not translate well to distance learning? and What careers not requiring an academic degree might be open to a self-learner who wants to do research on pure mathematics?
Oct 26, 2015 at 19:02 comment added ff524 I've reopened your post. Note that "replicate the grad school experience" is not the same thing as "become an independent researcher without attending grad school," so the title of your post doesn't exactly match the contents.

Edited down to one question.

Edited and trimmed a bit as suggested by Alexandros in comments. Also added a TLDR.
