It doesn't seem to apply to the printing press, though. Can you know the "message" of your medium as you create it?
Nice example. My instinct is to agree. But, then, I wonder how much the shape of printing today was determined by early books, eg the Gutenberg Bible? I don't know enough to be sure, one way or the other.
