Hello,
I have some questions about the use of past tense (しただけの) in the following cases. These are the definitions for 無駄 from two different dictionaries:
1 役に立たないこと。それをしただけのかいがないこと。また、そのさま。無益。(LINK)
①しただけの効果や効用のないこと。役に立たないこと。また、そのさま。無益。(LINK)
Do these した indicate the completion of the action? And NOT that the action happened in the past.
Similar to how あと is always preceded by past tense or how ~た時 means "after the action has finished". I'm thinking した has that meaning here because かい and 効果 show the outcome of the action and thus require the completion of the action.
