You replied: "and STILL be useless."

Yeah, and the English language allows me to use STILL in place of "nevertheless".

adv.

  1. Without movement; motionlessly: stand still.
    1. At the present time; for the present: We are still waiting.
    2. Up to or at a specified time; yet: still had not made up her mind.
    3. At a future time; eventually: may still see the error of his ways.
  2. In increasing amount or degree; even: and still further complaints.
  3. In addition; besides: had still another helping.
  4. All the same; nevertheless.

Goodnight.

*sigh*

another dodge - is there no end to your dissembling?

"STILL is the key word. ***In your application***, it means, denotation, literal: "even under those specific conditions you set forth" "

say it with me, brothers and sisters: IN. YOUR. APPLICATION.

by the way, "nevertheless" means, roughly, "even under those specific conditions you set forth" or "DESPITE those specific conditions you set forth"

potAYtos, potAHtos. you lied. baldly. badly. again.

and yes, it is a very good night.
