What are the value of a hammer if all the nails are crooked ? That's not a really interesting question because: - IRL, all nails are not crooked - it's unlikely they ever become so - we can make other nails - we can use hammers in other contextes - you can always make another hammer, or hammer-like tool if this one doesn't suit your need - hammers are damn useful on their own, as a concept - people still use hammers, so I guess it has value for them
