Richard, no need to gloat. I realize that I have a ways to go. But you have to admit that I'm making fast progress.
My main strategy in "escaping from the need for relevance" is to specialize more. My current specialty is explaining that fall is less crowded than summer.
Will I ever be able to completely give up this specialty? Probably not. Otherwise it would be a waste of all my years of careful research, in which I have found that fall is less crowded than summer in every part of the northern hemisphere, with the possible exception of Oktoberfest. Would it be "right" for me to withhold this valuable information? I think not. I must do what my integrity commands, even if it means that I might never attain the state of purity that you take for granted.
