I wish he also recommended that every research paper needs to have a date on it. It seems to be the golden rule never to specify any date on research papers, which makes it really hard to evaluate the paper based on when it was published.
I agree, all papers should specify the date. Unfortunately, when submitting to journals or conferences, the author often doesn't have a choice in the matter, as papers have to follow a given template.
