Your reply to David Carlson is  a rather distorted way of arguing, not so.
"Closing Books" plain "Best Accounting Practice" that is all - Plain Best
Accounting Practice- read the internet on accounting practices and closing
of books.

There is no possible way of proving that nobody needs to close their books.
It is only possible to /disprove/ this by providing evidence that /somebody/
needs to close their books.  The onus is on those who believe the latter to
find an example.  Otherwise, by default, the suggestion that nobody needs to
close their books must be accepted.
