Everything could be looked at as a waste of time.Theorizing about time is a waste of time too,isn't it?How about making statements about wasting time.

As Einstein once quoted chess was a waste of time for him, he only played it to relax from his exhausting studies of physics. Do you think it is a waste?

Look firstly even though Einstein said that for him chess was a waste of time,still he played chess thus he as many scientists do he had acted self contradicting.And I don't think that it's important to get upset by chess critics even though he is Albert Einstein.
