The idea that study will automatically lead to mitzvos only applies if, in the words of Rashi who cites Toras Cohanim, "You shall toil in the study of Torah in order to observe and fulfill [the commandments (Torath Kohanim 26:2)." A recent publication left that part out and went on to laud study. Thus it turned a verse which tells us that mitzvahs are so important that not keeping them will lead to severe punishment into the usual talk about study alone and that kind of talk actually minimizes observance of mitzvahs.
