Eliezer keeping his notes where I can access them is altruism. It does NOT make him more efficient as Nornagest was claiming, and might actually waste quite a lot of his time.
I’d want him to keep them in whatever format he feels is best—keeping them in his head might drastically increase his productivity, and we’d all benefit. Even being altruistic, it’s still a risk-reward tradeoff, and I trust him to make that decision better than me (he knows the factors better, and I’d wager that he’s smarter and more rational than I am about such things anyway)
