The "problem" of trusteeship is who qualifies as a knowledgable trustee. Years ago, The Early American Industries Association had what I considered a very balanced view of our artifactual inheritance. Most contributing members wanted objects preserved, catalogued, and numbered. They also were interested in process and wanted them in use and understood in the context of use--the "living history" concept. Men make mistakes and experience (recognizing a mistake when you make it again) eventually teaches the distinction between bjects that probably should be locked away and those that can be used, learnt on, and just possibly used up (A chisel kept sharp never gets longer!). Men who have in common the need to plant a foot in the past shouldn't be arguing about this. Well maybe the CAS barrel bobbers go a bit far, but they are still part of a small and select fraternity of enthusiasts. Way to many sinners with pockets full of stones.
