I have a good monitor and yet when I print things out and read them on paper, I always discover flaws I'd overlooked on the screen. This happens with both writing and code. Is paper better, or merely different?

Maybe it did? Historically people with asymmetric information had superior mating success. Hidden knowledge passed on paper was asymmetric gold mine for many years before it became democratized and turned into information overload again making true knowledge hidden :)
In Europe till say 1300 literacy was definitely not correlated with superior mating success.

Well, It indeed was superior to the peasants but inferior to the nobles who were literate and powerful. Money, power, asymmetric knowledge all have been interesting interoperable currency and remain to be. Some books (religion) helped control groups. Some books made groups rebel.
