The point is, that it actually would.knowing how to build AGT1500 gas turbine will not help you discover Higgs boson.
Sure it doesn't help at all with the actual research directly, but the technology behind gas turbines and the sensors used is helpful in producing better secondary systems for your particle accelerator.
That's the point, basic technical and engineering knowledge has very broad applications and while it won't directly help in researching X, it will make the support structures you need to do so better/cheaper.
It's possible nothing in the core will help, but not likely.
