OK, I need some clarification here.  I read that as:

"I opine that [the list] has powerful uses."

My problem is with 'pilno vlipa'.  I believe that that is inteded to say
something like 'powerful use', but the order is 'using type-of power' or
'something that is used in the way that power is used', which has
different implications entirely and implies that the list in question is
a type of power.

Am I missing something?
