I didn't say its useful or isn't useful. I said its interesting and that some people (for their own ethical decisions) might find it useful, and that there's no reason to hate. Its just a thought process, not much different than any other "useless."

Its dumb to just say "this isn't useful -> this is bad -> I must mock"

A lot of really important stuff ends up coming out of "silly" thought exercises. The few examples I could pull up are pretty far away from things that I can really understand.

One example: Figuring out the most efficient way to pack oranges ended up leading to how modem's send and receive signals.
