Still don't understand the argument as they are inherently the same thing. What I gather is they are teaching students how to research case law and the medium is completely irrelevant to that task. I suspect the concept is the most important part. Though, as always, I'm probably completely wrong and this is just some gatekeeping conspiracy to keep the ranks of people with knowledge of the law artificially low.

Here is the process for Shepherdizing in a commercial service online: look at the icon, click on it.[1] Here is the same process performed via printed volumes-- see the link.[2] The point was this exercise was not taught as an incident to case law, the first month of class was specifically about navigating these printed volumes, which may be hard now to even comprehend. The two processes are "inherently the same thing" as much as supermarket shopping is the same as working a farm. Or flipping a light switch is like lighting an oil lamp.[3] Which is to say, these are different skills, which have no clear connection to an ability to prepare a meal, on the one hand, or read a book, on the other.
