He did not mention any of that so my comment was accurate.

And FWIW, thinking, planning, and working 3 dimensionally in the 2d environment of a display is much more challenging than the same tasks in real life and is really not analogous to a physical book vs a kindle.

While it may not address the tactile element of real life play it does compensate in other areas.
