Not academic at all.  If we know that paper will last for >2000 years  
assuming just basic precautions, then we know that the lifetime of  
our media will not be the limiting factor on the lifetime of our  
private communication.

There's something to be said for the knowledge that one part of your  
system is that phenomenally overdesigned.
