Ha! I would agree that you might be taking it a bit too seriously. I was trying to make the point that sometimes things that might seem purposeless are useful simply because they are fun, scratch an itch, and might lead to a new way of looking at something. That exploratory process might be worth it in certain projects even if it introduces more bugs accidentally. I should have elaborated more rather than just leaving a quote. After all, quotation in absence of analysis contributes very little novelty.
