I beg to differ. Without experience, knowledge and wisdom, you can't make a good choice. If you are lacking a lot knowledge and experience compared to me and we are both equally wise, you simply can't make a good decision based on your knowledge and experience alone, especially because you don't see the whole picture. (Not that I do, but I surely can see more than you in this case.)
You wouldn't go vote for somebody either without first looking into what they are actually standing for.
I'm not saying experience makes you choose unwisely. I just wanted to show that inexperience can also give birth to new visions. For example, I often ask my Physics teacher questions about certain problems, to which he responds with: "I never looked at it that way before."

Look around you. Look at your keyboard. Look at your screen. There's math appliance everywhere. It's a highly theoretical science, but it's being applied basically everywhere. I believe that practicality is far more important because of this.
That's not exactly what I meant. I, for one, am more interested in the theoretical part of mathematics and not so in the practical part. Those are two different sides of math. Maybe the theoretical side would care for tau, but the practical not so. That being said, this is but a hypothesis.
