methinks this was a typo, but you nailed it with this choice of words:

vain

\Vain\, a. [Compar. Vainer; superl. Vainest.] [F. vain, L. vanus empty, 
void, vain. Cf. Vanish, Vanity, Vaunt to boast.] 1. Having no real 
substance, value, or importance; empty; void; worthless; unsatisfying. 
``Thy vain excuse.'' --Shak.

2. Destitute of forge or efficacy; effecting no purpose; fruitless; 
ineffectual; as, vain toil; a vain attempt.

3. Proud of petty things, or of trifling attainments; having a high 
opinion of one's own accomplishments with slight reason; conceited; 
puffed up; inflated.
