I agree. We wear out historical artifacts by both loving and hating them
too much. Museums patch them up and keep them out there. Like publicity
for media stars, maybe there's no such thing as a bad visitor to a museum.
As in "Mommy, why was that man so upset and why did he put a dent in the
airplane?" "Because a lot of people died in WWII, would you like to read
about it?"


Or maybe the true answer is "because he's a nutcase, just like the guy that tried
to shatter the Pieta".

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."
