Who cares?

I think we need a ‘who cares?’ coefficient which ranges between zero and unity.

You take whatever value is placed on something and then multiply it by the ‘who cares?’ coefficient to get the real value.

My coffee in front of me has a coefficient of unity.

String theory has a value near zero.

Now you will notice that the value of coefficients for a particular item will vary from person to person and from time to time.

Which to me just confirms the value of the whole construct.

Foolish the scientist that believes in absolute value because they have no way of modeling or predicting this coefficient.
