Perhaps as an important stepping stone? Deferred optimization and all that.

Sounds like half baked research that shouldn't have been published then. Papers are supposed to be an actual advance not a tech preview of something that might be useful maybe if someone else figures it out.

Some people call the flag planting. You publish something that doesn't work with keywords you suspect will be important in the future. Then hope others will cite you.
