After all anything boring can't possibly be worthwhile or important - minutes of UN resolutions, pretty boring I'd imagine 'yawn yawn... declared war... boring boring... weapons of mass destruction... blah blah... loads of casualties...'
Archaeological reports often are pretty boring, especially grey ones, but that doesn't undermine or devalue what they are for or why they are done. It also doesn't mean that they should be sexed up.
