The SNDB is not all about the High/Lows. The SNDB merely provides a convenient means of automating the High/Lows.
Don't forget that the original and main purpose of the SNDB is to collect massive quantities of data for research purposes. The High/Lows are just a small project that we can conveniently tack on.
The main benefit to members of doing this with the High/Lows is that the tables are now updated instantly instead of having to wait for 3-6 months for a moderator to finally update the Wiki site. Also, when entering your notes, the SNDB conveniently informs you if you have a special number, an insert note, or a new high or low number. So to say that the SNDB is in no way a benefit to members is simply incorrect.
