You can make claims of relativism until you are blue in the face,
but no matter what, *this* is a dumb sequence:

%I A039928
%S A039928 1,3,3,0,10,12,1,24,25,32,116,12,412,109, ...
%N A039928 Sum of first n terms of A_n (using absolute values of terms).

Cute perhaps, but still dumb.  It adds no value to searches
of the database.  No one is ever going to come across this
sequence in another context and wonder what it is and look
for it here.

There are dumber, less cute, less interesting sequences in
the database than this one.  I chose this one because it is mine.
