are we seeing the triumph of the market place over the slow-moving academic?


I think there is a lot of "Oh, don't touch those priceless shards of Sumerian Pottery until I get a grant to spend the summer gridding them out and removing them with brush in hand!" Why shouldn't some local make a buck off them if he can? They just end up in some Museum's storage room. I can hear the "Oh, we are losing priceless knowledge", comments already. Don't think so.
