Read it from a tiny screen, you will realise why it is a bad idea.

Reading from a tiny screen being the root bad idea.
I remember using physical screens that only had 64 or even 40 columns. (A printout was more practical for reading anyway. Just tolerate a few minutes of dot-matrix noise.)
It wasn't meant to be read from a screen. (A browser doesn't show the Form Feed character at each page number.)
