Not exactly: applications that do not need to use that datum do not need to store for that elided value.

And it may be that the value of that datum is not its particular value at any time, but that the value has changed: e.g., when we are fighting, we don't want to continually check "are we still fighting?" but we do want to be buzzed when it "FINISHED".

In any case, there is no general principle that maintaining state is harmful: REST is an approach suited for (generating and implementing) specific architectures and use-cases, in particular, for highly-scalable server farms, but not every computer-to-computer communication fits in with this.

Rick
