I guess it was a waste of time for Mozart to compose, when he could have rallied the troops, or DaVinci to paint when he could have brushed camouflage?
Should Shakespeare compose propaganda instead of prose?
Your analysis of the Columbine incident is clearly beyond reproach as well. Jon Carmack has had lightning guns in his games, and well, you know, 70 to 80 Americans die each year from lightning. Guess we can blame him for that, too. Oh wait! The Columbine kids only got a dozen or so classmates, so he's really behind the curve.
Carmack is clearly an artistic genius, and his medium are video games. Would he have excelled in other industries? Probably. But then we would all be poorer for it.
