All in all the notion of preserving a "culture" is silly. If any thing we should be documenting what we can for history and moving on. The documentation that we have been able to do thus far, even when it's in good faith (as documentation-before-annihilation would not be) is woefully insufficient. We can't even document pre-industrial processes well enough to duplicate them in vitro, let alone complex cultures. Its not that I don't have respect for culture, its I don't have respect for practicing old culture notions in modern day. And yet here you are, with your out-of-date notion that culture isn't worth preserving.
