A further thought on increasing frequency of supplementation of treatise
material: treatises are most convenient in book form, and are most
valuable for the thoughtful analysis they provide. Online services make
it easy to update them, and it is a requirement of responsible research
that they must be updated, since the cases cited and analyzed will be
months old (at least) even in treatises supplemented several times a
year. It is a waste of resources to increase supplemenation at great
expense, because updating is what electronic research is really good for.
In a rational world, supplementation of print treatises would be
decreasing rather than increasing, since it is simply not necessary or
useful in the way that it once was.
