I would say that dealing with the VMS is only a waste of time if one quickly put together a "solution" free of any background knowledge. Which does not mean that every (wrong) solution is bad. It can indicate a direction or generate ideas. Even in falsity, there can be a grain of truth. That's why I always try to be unbiased, even if it's sometimes very difficult.
However, I would not read a book several hundred pages long, if the cover text already shows that the system is fundamentally wrong
