Pointless? I wish I could back through history, and count how many times "experts" said certain ideas and endeavors were "pointless" just to have them become reality.

Just make sure you also tally up how many times they said 'pointless' and were proven right.

Spending time and resources on things that won't work (economically) does no one any good.
