So basically you're agreeing here that the efficiency is proportional to the amount of transcribed text? We know where to find that particular maximum... :mrgreen:
Source code?

The information it conveys can always be maximized if we can replay it as when it was originally typed, and also add documentation that is text in static and replayable versions in the same HTML file.
Except that the density of that information relative to time is now way too low to be worth anyone's time.

Because they are (should be) interactive

1) good one
2) so if interactivity is the required quality all of a sudden now, then why are books and html pages still superior?

That's two big fallacies there.
- You assume that a single property has to be decisive.
- You assume that everything found on the internet is good for you.
