The historical societies do what they can do economically by making use of what is available in the market.  For them, a foobie is better than none.  Modelers are just one membership segment of these societies, and if they know it is a foobie and care,  they can say so, sit on their hands, resign, or like those of us peons on the outside, simply move on and not buy the product. It certainly is not a moral issue for which we need to demand explanation.
