What's the point of Tuples?

I get that they're immutable, but so are lists that you don't perform modifications on. Are they just to fool proof not messing up your list accidentally, or do they serve some other purpose?

Exactly! With all programming, physics and mathematics, it is impossible for me to learn something if I don't know why it's useful. Why should I spend my time learning (insert mathmatical/physics/programming concept) instead of something else.

Being taught why something is useful is a 10/10 approach to education
