Why bother climbing Everest? I mean, it surves no useful purpose of any 
kind.

Even better: Why climb Everest *today*? It's already been done. It was 
pointless the first time, and there's no particular point in somebody 
else doing it again today.

Similarly: Why have I just spent over 2 *months* learning to play 
Widor's Toccata? I could easily pick up a copy of a true master playing 
it on a grand organ, and it'll sound better than anything I will ever 
produce. So why bother?

It's a challange, man! To see if it can actually be done. :-D
