So I'm in the midst of writing my response paper for Mark's class and having massive trouble finding the right adjective for one section. Right now I'm using "informative", but that just doesn't capture the feeling I'm looking for.
What I really want is a word that means: well-meaning, but ultimately unhelpful/destructive input. Any ideas, dear mass of brain power that is our cohort.

Futile, sounds closer to what I'm looking for. The problem with "well-meaning, yet ultimately destructive" is that I wanted to label different kinds of access. So I have temporal access and intrusive access - I changed it from informative, which was just plain wrong.
I still think intrusive sounds more negative than I would like. What do you think?
Here's one: naive? Perhaps connotes "simplistic", though...
Can you give us the sentence or more context about what it sounds like in the paragraph?
It's more of a heading/descriptor that I'd like to use. Here's how I'm trying to define it:
"While MacDonald and Rowan use the term access to mean strictly physical proximity, in this essay access will include how contemporary events inform how a painting is accessed – temporal access - and how non-artists’ access to the creative process influences the final product – intrusive access."
pyrrhic?
