It sounds like it might not be useful to you.But it seems equally clear that it might be useful for others.
Look, I'm not claiming this is useful
There are some things it's useful for and some things it isn't. Go figure.
Maybe we can't say it's useful
Wouldn't be much use if it wasn't.
you're wrong it can be extremely useful
I think it's interesting, but I don't see how it's useful. Can you describe what you think is useful about it?
It's impressive, to be sure. Is it useful?
Maybe it's about it's usefulness?
