If it's on the internet, people don't take it as seriously. There is something satisfying about sitting with an eight pound book on your lap, leafing through it to find a variety of treasures other than that which you seek! The experience of directly interacting with a printed dictionary is so very different than using the search engines provided for the online varieties — No, perhaps I didn't actually mean "noodle" or "nodding," and if I need to establish that "frog" is an obscure definition for "paddock" I am totally out of luck.
