Yes. Sometimes the "best light" to be shown on our hobby (ie.: the best/favored image) is to have the least attention possible drawn to us.

Because the moment "giant spotlights" get cast on us (if you, gasp, actually found something good), is the minute all the purist archie types come out of the wood-work. Aghast that you or I "dug up the past". Hence throwing a bad-light on us, not a good light. So sometimes the less they think of us, the better.
