The inherent difficulty with preservation can be seen in the compatability of the following two sentences:

"All people look at issues through the lens of their own preferences"

"If there were written definitions of what is and isn't compatible, and then refer to each one when makign the decision."

I think that was EH's point, that there's a myriad of issues to contend with if one is to view preservation intelligently. I know that dosen't always sit well with the more right brain types, but that's the way great buildings are designed. The perfectly segregated "approvals authorities" dosen't always get the whole picture, so it seems one has to accept some gray areas to ensure we don't miss the forest for the trees.
