Footnotes Are Infinitely Superior To Endnotes

I hate end­notes. In fact, I loathe them. They force me to read with two book­marks and for no good rea­son. Foot­notes are a fun­da­men­tal­ly supe­ri­or way to attribute infor­ma­tion and are even bet­ter for digress­ing with­out inter­rupt­ing an argu­ment.

Yet more books use end­notes than foot­notes. Why?
