Apologies, I failed to understand your point properly in my sibling reply. Yes, it's possible what you say is true (I somewhat doubt it, though; open to evidence, of course). But the point I was making in my original reply to GGP is that it's no loss from an evolutionary perspective because the timeline is too short. I also doubt it's true from a civilization perspective, because again, the timeline is both too short and most people have never picked up a pencil. Handwriting is likely a fetish. It's so easy to see benefits where there's actually only preference and bias.
