I'm thinking it's just because it's a Jason month. Network's for mass communication, easier to ask a bazillion people how to food or what's going on, or general information gathering than trying to pull it out from a log, especially when you can't be sure who'll bite and try to force it out in some contrived manner that way.

tl;dr network for info, logs for cr, or some more meaningful relations if you don't think you can get it via network. Don't see a problem with this.
