There's also the point of basic science.
Let's put Tam's argument into other scientific scenarios:
My question is, though...why does it matter how fast the speed of light is? How does it affect my daily life? Why should I care whether or not it is one mile, sixty miles, or a billion miles per hour?
My question is, though...why does it matter how redshift explains the expansion of the universe? How does it affect my daily life? Why should I care whether or not it is expanding, contracting, or stays the same?
My question is, though...why does it matter how many forces are in the universe? How does it affect my daily life? Why should I care whether or not strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force are different?
My question is, though...why does it matter if black holes are more than a mathematical hypothetical? How does it affect my daily life? Why should I care whether or not they are relevant in Einstein's theories?
My question is, though...why does it matter how humans developed language? How does it affect my daily life? Why should I care whether or not it created our consciousness or became merely a tool of it?
