> they're obviously worthless Collecting information, organising it into a easy to understand format and then presenting that information to others is a very common task in real life. There are whole very well paid and respected professions where their job is mainly about doing that. (lawyers, teachers, tv presenters, etc.) It is also a crucial element in many other jobs where it is not thought as the main part of the job itself. Doesn't matter how good of an engineer you are if you can't convince others to give you the resources for your excellent plans. Doesn't matter how good of a scientist you are if you can't tell others your results. Doesn't matter how visionary a business leader you are if you can't convince others to give you money for your businesses. I'm not saying it is the only useful skill. There are many others. But it is certainly part of the toolkit of a well rounded and skilled human. I'm curious how you concluded that it is "obviously worthless" practicing it.
