  A bit of a more serious comment on that: knowledge is never useless. Many, maybe most, researchers agree with that. It’s why we do what we do. Publishers and sources of funding (be they third party or governmental), however, disagree. So we have to sell them on the importance of our research this way.

      How about this one: ‘Useless doesn’t mean valueless’

      Thoughts?

    Condensed matter - basic research. No actual real world, independently of what the abstracts/introductions may claim.
