According to Kevin W. Tucker:

> I received a telephone call from a gentleman who asked for some advice
> regarding an old map that he wanted to preserve. In a very serious tone he
> informed me that he was concerned that it would be damaged further if he did
> not take some action. He then asked if having it laminated would be the most
> appropriate course of action.
>
> I calmly went through my 5-minute routine of "how to protect works on paper"
> and strongly advised him against the copy-shop version of vinyl lamination,
> informing him of the preservation issues involved. He patiently listened to
> my entire speech with only an occasional, "Oh, I see".
>
> After I finished, he quickly replied, "But I still don't understand what good
> that is going to do for my old fishing map of the lake!"

> The forest for the trees on my part, perhaps?
