One of the biggest problems I have with preservation is that ugly turds can be saved simply because they are unique in their style of ugliness.
It's like, if I find a turd on the sidewalk, and it's fluorescent green, the landmarks commission would come in and say "hey, look at that radioactive poo! We have to save it! There isn't another one like it!"
