Heritage and culture are different things.

Did Hugh write that piece for you?
My Spurs season ticket has passed down the family. Doesn't mean it's part of the (diminishing) culture surrounding me.
Thigs of 'importance' are not necessarily matters of 'culture'.

You are incorrect. Again, you're getting confused, because you insist on working in limited categories and often seem to prefer to look for binary opposition when there simply isn't any. It's great that the Spurs season ticket passes down your family, but it's not so great that with such an obvious cultural artefact right under your nose you still can't see it.
Everything humans do generates culture. If it's important, then its cultural influence is important. It really is that simple. I could write you an essay on it, but as I'm in the middle of writing a dissertation on it and I have a tutorial deadline this evening, I won't.
Suffice it to say that culture is not limited to whatever neoclassical snobbery insists it is.
