How does getting a few more decimal places on the mass of a k-meson or whatever benefit us? It's a complete waste of money as far as return on investment goes. Particle accelerators are expensive.

But if you don't try you will never know. Negative reults are still results. Plus there could be phenomenon that we're not even aware of that become apparent.

The same way that learning about minor measurements of neutrons was a requirement for the Manhattan project.
Same as the cross section for neutron capture of plutonium needed to be measured.
People study all sorts of likely useless garbage, and some of it turns out to be not so useless later.
