> Instead, it has been added only to disassociate from a HTML/CSS imitation of paper (the material) by itself

Assuming that digital screens cannot truly be produced using cellulose and starch (the material) the dissociation and difference in the nature of medium is understood. And then the "software part" has absolutely no role to play in that dissociation.

You can't evade the fact that it is just marketing-speak at every level. I am pretty sure that the dev community likes to believe otherwise, and hence the downvotes, but that's just lame groupthink anyway.




FWIW, I understood it as "we didn't use a background 'texture' that visually resembles a piece of looseleaf paper", and I rather welcomed that particular visual design choice.


That's exactly what it was meant to express. Thanks!

Except that it does resemble a plain A4 loose sheet of paper -skeuomorphically! :)
