Is a poster on a wall considered "paper in constant use"? After all, that disk has been constantly, unceasingly physically manipulated for years, while the paper has just been merely subjected to light and a small amount of air movement. A poster on the wall is as much "in use" as a disk that is plugged in but not mounted.
Sticking with the original subject, write your password to your computer disk and write it to a piece of paper. Now change your password on your computer disk while changing it on the paper as well. Now change it again. And again. And again. See what is more durable, the disk being constantly erased and written over, or the paper being constantly erased and written over? A modern SSD can handle tens of petabytes being written before it dies. Can a piece of paper?
