> The article does not explain what the value of pen and paper has over a digital note pad. It just declares it has one.

Would some handwavy explanation be better? Sometimes all we have is an observation and it can be valuable to share and discuss it without immediately making up some explanation.

Yes, perhaps it has to do with tactile feedback, immediacy, not having to brace for annoying notifications and nagging of digital devices (new message, new update available, extra information filling up the screen, having to "buffer" what's behind windows in a "mental stack").

But who knows, this is speculation, we don't understand the brain well enough to say why precisely this is how it is.
