I understand, so we'll have that at least. But if we have a chance to optimize that process, why just rely on books, I feel like that won't be the most efficient way of distributing knowledge if we had to. Even if we can get up to the 20th century, why not get up to whatever we were at rather than having to redo some work.
I'm just saying that if we rely on book literatures, we're missing out on the most efficient and powerful source of knowledge, the internet.
