Having a clue what villain's range is in most spots is a nice tool to have in your back pocket, front pocket, book bag and stuffed down one sock, imo.
You're right. But I'd say about 25% of the time I find myself in a spot where no matter how hard I think about it during the 30 second time frame I have, I can't nail down my opponents range. I have no idea what he's doing, or where he's at. I hope to get that 25% down to 0.001% of the time, and be awesome... like the good players. Not there yet, so it's good to have a fallback.

Better than always snapfolding because I don't know where I am, or overcommitting by simply trying to push my opponents off the pot because I'm lost in the hand. Because those were my 2 default plays.

My game was helped considerably by the SPR argument. But I just wanted to make sure I had it nailed down before I tried to commit it to the "fundamental, not really gonna talk about it" part of my game. So yeah, I've been all like "OMG SPR" for the last like 50 posts.

I guarantee you guys I'll be all like "OMG BALANCED RANGE?" Spenda will probably threaten to beat me with a stick at that point... When I'm trying to merge my ranges together in the higher levels of poker... assuming I ever get there.
