I think of them as being more of your lager or weisbier drinkers myself. But that may be my anti-Malkioni bias showing.

Perhaps largely just pointless... But potentially Wicked in a couple of respects: firstly, Meldekophobes will distrust it if it originates in the West; and secondly, there may be a tradition of not writing some things down (like myths), which this would provide the technology to break. Though this is a somewhat circular argument, as a prohibition against writing down myths would supposes that it's possible enough to be worth forbidding, as it were.
