Yeah, the gloves are silly. I pointed that out as well when I first saw that picture on another thread. I think they were "unveiling" it wherever it was being displayed, and they did that for ooh's and aah's from the audience that was assembled. I think of more importance than using gloves, would be to get that slab into some kind of UV protected shell or something. Maybe they cared for that in the glass they put it behind.
