Not stupid at all. Myself, and every single colleague of mine that I know (pure mathematicians) have to print every non-trivial document that we really want to study deeply.

I'm reminded of 'edw519, and his habit of printing out source code listings to work on without losing focus. See e.g. http://static.v25media.com/edw519_mod.html#chapter_49, and then CTRL+F for "print" from there.

I used to do this all the time in my early career. Stopped at some point.

Probably when I stopped working on really hard things and started working on complicated things that touch tons of files.

Going to try this again. It was really helpful
