Oh, it is distressing to judge a person's life based on the appearance of the body and the fineness of the grave goods - this is neither a condemnation of 'pneumatic' or an endorsement of local practices, just a statement of how I reacted to the two items in context.
I don't actually have a way of passing final judgement that /isn't/ distressing. It's a distressing thing to do, and thus I try to avoid it. People are complex and messy, and summing a life - of which I can only ever have been a small part - up in a few sentences isn't a practice I find useful.
