But it could still not be worth the learning missed.
There is something counterintuitive here, as there are numerous examples
of R' Avigdor Miller calling on his audience to utilize their wonder at
the amazingness of the beri'ah as a tool to building emunah and bitachon.
And yet Niagra Falls... This is why I am guessing that he meant more
"nothing compared to the cost", and not zero in an absolute sense.
Tir'u baTov!
