Yup. I prefer old papers because, among other reasons, they tended to finish a line of investigation before publishing. Nowadays, due to pressure to inflate publication numbers, the same amount of research gets chopped up and spread out over 2-3 publications. It's not just 2-3 times harder to read -- it's worse because I have to keep referring between them to understand things.
