Usefulness relies on understanding, even if that means understanding what is possible to ask for. What is being generated right now is really just a translation from one inscrutable phenomenon into another. In neither case do we have power over the data, because we don’t know what it means, truly where it comes from, and even the beginning of the limits of what the discovery allows. We’ve traded one black box for another, and still need to unpack it.
