Huh? That makes no sense. What are you trying to say? What if some
knowledge doesn't transform from one system to another at all, are you
saying it's no longer useful? Or that it's not as useful as something
that can apply in multiple systems? That's complete nonsense.
Consider Newtonian physics - does not apply to systems of atomic or
galactic proportions, yet not only is it useful, it's arguably more
useful than the modern physics that followed. F=ma builds bridges,
E=mc^2 does not, even though the latter is applicable to far more
systems than the former.

Besides which, what does your comment above have to do with anything
we have been discussing? I though we were talking about
distinguishing between illusion and the accurate perception of
reality. The usefulness of that perception is irrelevant.

So what?

What does that mean? He doesn't seem fully enlightened to you,
therefore what he has to say must be irrelevant and useless?
