Just because there are more important things to do worry about than one particular thing doesn't mean no one on earth should worry about that thing until everything else is fixed.

I really need to vacuum my car, but maybe I should hold off until we resolve the Ebola outbreak?

I'm not sure that example is the same, I'd say a better example would be "I really need to fix the giant hole in my roof, but maybe I should hold off until I find the perfect position of the pillows on my bed"

EDIT: But sure, the fact that there are other things to do doesn't mean no one should worry about anything else. I just feel like this is one of those things that doesn't really make any meaningful change, add any value, etc. Like I said, just seems like nit-picking. To each their own.
