Why bother with a "theory" that's not even wrong?

What predictions can I make from quales? Are they a useful source of
engineering constraints, as compared to, say, neuroanatomy, or computational
physics? How much list bandwidth and people-attention-seconds are worth
allocated to such a concept? (And can I have some of them back, please?)

If a quale quails in a quale, quales a quale quale?
