In "Predator," Jesse Ventura assured me that chewing tobacco would make me "a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like [him]." I presume this is how Kosmoceratops got this way.
...he must be right! He used math, and everything!
I'm a little shocked that Kurzweil equates blueprints with the functioning organ. I am not shocked, however, that the tech media latched onto this--at first blush it sounds so *reasonable.*
Although I do agree with the 'be kind-rewind' point for the rental market, I think quick access to the special features is less important than improved picture quality.
Further, it seems like DVD, as a high-density optical medium, does not react very well to fingerprints and scratches. My guess is that magnetic tape, enclosed in a plastic shell, is far less likely to receive this kind abusive handling.
Although it's hard to say what all that fast-forwarding and rewinding will do over the years; properly handled DVDs could theoretically last as long as the plastics they're made of.

I tried to write something that more succinctly captured the Jessi Slaughter meme than what you wrote, but failed. I guess I dun goofed.
