This makes sense, "enough" of the old technical info is in the AI brains now and easily accessed via a query.

The old brick-of-paper approach to tech manuals just isn't a thing any more. I don't particularly miss it. It was, if you think about, usually a slow and inefficient way to present information - often better at presenting what was possible than how to do make it happen.
