The point is that instead of wasting all that money restoring what is effectively a bit of wood and iron the money could be spent on something more worthwhile.
When salvaging the wood they could create saleable items (Cutty Sark door stop anyone?) to flog to the Yanks which would in turn help fund something for the underpriveledged kids of the area - meaning that the Cutty Sark has made a difference rather than just sitting in the water not doing alot.
Anyone who harps on about losing Britain's Heritage should remember that we will still be able to see it on TV and stuff.
