It's not like researching it is a massive blow to your economy. It doesn't cost food, so you can still keep up villager production. And while 400 gold can halt Knight production, once the research is done, your knight production is faster, so it balances out. 400 gold is significant in late imp, but not late castle/early imp (which is when you'll probably research Chivalry).
