Need was inaccurate. TBH, I'm not sure how often we'd use them. But it would be a nice touch if the system is going to last a while, which it looks like it will. Also, how often do you say "Bring me two papers"? It's usually pieces or sheets, but not papers. The main time you'd hear a number of papers is when talking about papers submitted to a conference or journal, not for mere physical sheets.
