No no. This doesn't make sense. If we're not going to put our treasured documents on archival paper until we've proved that archival paper really will last for centuries, they're never going to be put on archival paper, no matter how great it might or might not be, because we'll all be dead.
You wanted to say we should see how archival paper pans out before we stop printing our treasured documents on other types of material.
