I'm confused about why it was valuable for him to be able to hear, if he wasn't allowed to act upon information.
It was implied in myths that if you listened to the Sirens (and survived), you would learn more about yourself. Curiosity about your own true nature, fighting self-deception, etc. Very much a rationalist motivation.
Huh. Never got that. Cool.
