Thanks, and I can technically agree with you there too. However, in theory and in practice, there are a few reasons why I disagree:
In practice, based on my personal experience, reading often imparts knowledge that feels somewhat abstract, and I struggle to understand how to apply it effectively.
From a theoretical perspective, it is clearly mentioned in පෙටකොපදෙසය and විභඞ්ගප්පකරණය that “පරතෝඝෝෂය සුතමයයි”.
One can write the exact verbal information step by step on a paper for a follower to follow. I reckon it is still පරතෝඝෝෂය
