I'm not sure what you mean by "usefulness".
If there are two different theories and theory A says that under a 
specific set of circumstances, measurable parameter X will have the 
value 247 +/- 3, and theory B says that under the same set of 
circumstances, the same measurable parameter will have the value 430 +/- 
6, then the thing to do is to make the measurement of that parameter 
under those circumstances. What you are doing is seeing which theory is 
more likely to be correctly accounting for how nature behaves, by 
predicting how it will behave. This is the way, in science, theories are 
put to test.
Now, if the measurement comes out to be 431 +/- 2, then you can be 
confident that theory A does not correctly account for how nature 
behaves, and that theory B is much more likely to be the correct 
explanation of how nature is working.

Is this complicated to you?
