Yeah it's counter-productive (particularly in this modern age), and
arguably even unethical, but I suppose it more or less worked OK back

Of course standards organizations are ollllld and still in many cases
creaking along with methods and practices from many ages
ago... Institutional inertia is a powerful force... :(
