You can waste a lot of time trying stuff that just isn't going to work.

Either you have something better to do with your time or you don't.

If you don't have something better, then it's not a waste of time.

If you do have something better to do, but you're spending your time bitching about it instead of working on it, then trying even ludicrous things is still a better use of your time.

IMO, the real waste of time is when people spend all their time making up explanations to excuse their self-created limitations.
