Back when I used to work in a University Maths department we used Fortran almost exclusively. Because its quicker and easier to code up most math problems in Fortran rather than C and because of the extensive numerical libraries available.
The compiler we used would tell you off if you used swear words for your variable names. So of course our favourite game was looking for expletives that the compiler didn't know about. Some of them got pretty inventive!!
Not only that, you won't be able to skip back to recheck things that happened or stop half way and start it again a year later. There might even be a time frame within which you have to finish the book otherwise you are not experiencing it as the artist intended!
Art is put out there by the artists, how consumers choose to consume it has been and always will be up to the consumer. If I want to hang a Picasso upside down, that's my business (God, I wish I owned a Picasso).
