I think Bro Stewart said it best.
I have a cipher book for Texas and it is a crutch. I did not get one until I had passed all my proficiencies and was learning my lectures. once I had a book to reference I found myself referring to it more and more ( and the Monitor for the charges) and less upon my memory and what I had learned. I made a choice to use it only when I did not have a brother to study with. My knowledge and appreciation of the ritual has improved since I made that choice.
