It's a point, but... I dunno that I'd agree with your "you will need paper" conclusion too readily.

If we had a complete electrical power failure... (assuming that didn't affect engines, which would put the kibosh on navigation anyway)...

We'd still have electronic charts on a laptop, two tablets, and two phones... before we had to resort to paper.
