"the market" is focused on what sells not upon what needs preservation and research and discovery. It does not focus upon skills that need to be preserved and taught. It would just as soon substitute say a trumpet for a traditional instrument just to make a fast buck. The anything's ok philosophy re-enforces this.

What is wrong with putting tumor fusion in its own category and perhaps give it the recognition it deserves?

Why must it compete at all with the "old folk"
Or with "folk revival"
