@inthehands yes yes yes a thousand times yes.

My take: lectures are a TECHNOLOGY. There was a time and place when that was a great technology! Namely, when books were very rare and expensive -- like, medieval universities, where getting a new book was a big deal. In that context -- think the University of Paris about 800 years ago -- a lecture is a great technology and efficient use of time!

But perhaps just maybe you (the general "you", not you specifically, @inthehands) have noticed that this is not Paris circa 1200! We have better technology. Let's use it!
