Jan 25, 2018 at 16:35 comment added Max Williams I think it's because "intact" is a bit vague. For example, if someone takes a teaspoon from the collection, is it now no longer "intact"? Technically perhaps, but it seems "more intact" than if someone stole a whole bag's worth of stuff. Similarly, if someone breaks the head off a statue, but doesn't steal anything from the tomb, it's still "mostly intact".
