The comparative study of liturgical history has been the method of comparative liturgy to which Anton Baumstark (1872-1948) gave theoretical formulation and popularized. It is not only useful but indispensable for the history of liturgy. The issue is not whether every single one of Baumstark principles, or every use he made of them, was 100% correct, but what can we derive from his insights. What we derive from them, I think, is a way of working and thinking that remains valid to the present day. That the solution to some problems in liturgical history and interpretation is simply impossible except through the methods of comparative liturgy has time and again been proven beyond cavil.
