Did the Book of Mormon Prophets Need Those Scrolls or Not?

i don't really know, except that it seems to indicate some relationship between the physical and the spiritualthat for words to come into this man's head. You needed the presence of a physical object that was laden with the efforts ad thought of so many propits preceding him. They had to be there with the words written on them. And i don't really have an answer with any authority behind it at all. It actually, i think, points towards the need fr speculation about why.
