> General relativity doesn’t help anyone throw a basketball better, but that’s not what it’s for.

Yes, of course! And as a physicist, I don't ask basketball players to use general relativity.

But I'm responding to a post claiming the category theory really is useful, directly, for science. And just like the basketball player, I'm saying that it really isn't.
