[X] Even walking alone, footfalls echo beyond your hearing
This amounts to an explicit rejection of ever practicing an Art because we believe it will give a useful or compatible insight.
I can't support that.

[X] An interesting fact and a useful observation [No insight]
Don't really like any of these.
In fact I see all 3 more likely to be future causes of problems than actually helping.

What would be the effects of echo beyond your hearing? It doesn't excite me really, but we're not going to run out of slots in our domain for another year so it's really only what we loose with the specific insight that matters.
It seems like it would gain Qi just slightly more awareness of other people, the lack of which is one of her more interesting and enjoyable faults. I'm not sure I'd want to get rid of it, even if it might make her more well adjusted and deal with that issue with Qingge and Zhengui. Ling Qi getting increasingly sociable is one of my fears in this quest, since I've enjoyed her style to this point. I've voted for no insight but would definitely like to be convinced otherwise.

Really can't parse what you're trying to say here, or at least it seems completely unrelated to anything I said.
I remember HDW as well as LQ remembers enemies she's stronger than, i.e. not at all.
All other arts we've gotten insights from have played major roles in the narrative, both as a use and as something LQ has reflected upon. HDW feels as relevant to LQ as Ministry forms for expanding a building in the Ebon Rivers.
If you'll only ever take insights from an Art that had narrative significance, you'll never take insights from an Art picked for insight-utility rather than narrative-utility.
I don't believe that ends well for Ling Qi's cultivation, given how important insights are to forming a Way.
We've used it a lot though? We've used it on scouting, we've used it at parties to be less awkward, and more. Its really subtle, because its not about blasting stuff at people.

We don't pick arts for either of those reasons though? We pick arts that serve a role in LQ's build.
Wanting an art to have been visible isn't a big ask, HDW is the first one that's been pretty much invisible in the story.
And yes we need insights, but we're nort exactly running out of arts that are going to give us them.
HDW is just uninteresting, it's unseasoned potato salad.
We've used CDE for scouting, definitely, but I don't recall using HDW for it.
Argent Mirror was an internal art that managed to be very visible despite not blasting stuff. HDW just hasn't managed the same.

Actually SES was more invisible. Just sayin.
