I noticed that, and had the same thought. Younger folks probably don't see how issues like loss of libraries, and loss of research think of them as abstract concepts that won't affect them until some far off future. They have no concept of what it took to build the systems they take for granted.

Maybe they were referring to pawn shops, which traditionally have a trio of balls. You can dance and pawn your heirlooms in one convenient location!
