    This is 100% necessary. What else are you supposed to do if you break both your legs and need to use a wheelchair, but when you go to wheel over to get the paper, the wheels pop off and your phone dies and you live alone in a house on top of a hill that the closest neighbor is a 14 minute drive, so no one can help you, but the reason you need that paper is because someone is going to explode your house and you are going to die unless you email them a picture of that paper within 5 minutes. When that happens you are going to laugh at everyone who said you were crazy. There isn't time to make the thingn in only 5 minutes and use it, so anyone else would be doomed
