Something I think will come out of that (spoilers)

is that there will be something exposition-critical in the old scrolls he's copying which he will express-raven to Jon.

When I was a boy we had a teacher who, instead of lines, would set a hundred subtractions. So, for example, he'd pick a three digit number like 571 and make us do (long hand)

57100 - 571 (=56529)
56529 - 571 ....

and so on.

Of course we would fudge things so we always got back to the number he'd first thought of and he never checked throughout...
