[meteorite-list] What was he thinking?

[Bob Evans]

Tell me,

Am I the only one who gets perturbed everytime somebody cuts a nice oriented 
meteorite for classification ?
I mean, wouldn't any logical person kick theirself in the ass after they 
find out that its just another ordinary chondrite?
I could see if there was some telltale signs that the piece could be a rare 
meteorite from the exterior, but how can one ruin a nice oriented specimen 
when it most likely is a OC. There are tons of nasty looking meteorites to 
cut open to satisfy the curiosity. Why waste the oriented ones?
