I don't think he meant that, but the good range is indeed a valuable attribute. I wasn't aware that the SO3C was so much better in that regard than the alternatives.
Still, it's something you only appreciate if the aircraft is in service, and judging by the service history and with the benefit of hindsight, putting it into service wasn't the best idea.
Anyway, I see what you and Pursuivant are getting at. I'd at least agree it wasn't useless once put into service, and if that warrants the attribute useful is a matter of perspective. I wouldn't call it that, but I now understand how others would.
