Real teachings are transmitted not through manuscripts but mouth-to-mouth.
Look at the examples as Buddha, Socrates, Confucious.
At the age of paper culture, it might have been a matter of luck for any manuscripts to be published and known to the world. We cannot confirm whether we've got what we couldn't get, but we can easily assume many precious, epoch-making inventions, literary works, art were lost before they were known to public. We used to live in the world a drop of bomb not only killed many people but also their works.
How about now? My writings are read immediately after I published the one, now we have countless readers around the world. Our correspondence is not only read by slashdotters but also countless unknown readers. We can say we succeeded our millennia old dream -how to prevail our knowledge, in the age of the Internet. We are all winners, not a loser, we now live in history.
