Is this useful?

Yes, when you consider the alternative, which is to make the same decision - perhaps implicitly - with even less information. My experience is that thinking quickly about these questions seems to lead to better testing, despite the inexactness of the answers. I favor imprecise but useful methods over precise but misleading ones.
