No, it's not a dead-end. It's just a body of theoretical work that we may or may not need as yet. I fully support the development of theory prior to needing that theory. What if we plug along in the "computationalist" paradigm for the next 100 years and _finally_ realize that, hey! we could have used that gobbledygook Robert Rosen generated? Or, worse yet, what if _forget_ about it completely and end up reinventing it? No, I don't think we should categorize RR terms as a dead-end... not yet, anyway. However, if you don't like speculative theoretical discussions, then feel free to avoid them!
