stupid first year grad school brainlet thought.

Applied Disciplines are symbiotic with pure disciplines, one hardly exists without the other. Sure, there are topics in algebra which will never apply to a real-world problem, but most pure math evolved from questions in science. Entire pure math subfields are often created from complex real-world problems.

Real life is too rigorous for humans to understand or to be useful to us.

Well there you have your answer. We only put up with the lack of rigor because it's so practical.
