   I don't think it's retrograde at all.  Given the vast amounts of
knowledge and research that are available exclusively in print (I
stumped one of our research librarians a few months ago when I asked
about searching for video content just as I do for text, using
powerful tools and large databases), scholars, researchers, and
educated persons *must* master this medium if they're to take
advantage of that accumulated knowledge.  Maybe I'm terribly wrong or
misguided but that just seems like common sense to me.
