Actually, if you search for "futility of utility" in Google Scholar
one gets 163 hits like the following:

Latham, G. P., & Whyte, G. (1994). The futility of utility analysis.
Personnel psychology, 47(1), 31-46.

Whyte, G., & Latham, G. (1997). The futility of utility analysis
revisited: When even an expert fails. Personnel Psychology,
50(3), 601-610.

Cronshaw, S. F. (1997). LO! THE STIMULUS SPEAKS:
THE INSIDER'S VIEW ON WHYTE AND LATHAM'S
"THE FUTILITY OF UTILITY ANALYSIS". Personnel Psychology,
50(3), 611-615.

But to be fair, these are on a completely different topic.

If you search Google Scholar for "futility analysis" you'd get
over 1,600 hits.

Looks like "futility analysis" wins! ;-)
