I may be missing your point too. But please let me explain my motivation a bit further: 1)- This is indeed a good, failsafe way of saying to the students "Please open the notes." Besides not everyone is my student. 2)- It is based on a perceived demand. 3)- It should be relatively easy to implement. 4)- It can even be made optional, say, with a checkbox.
