No, the point is that when using a *single* file for all the headers and
footers, a single file can be changed, and instantly is in place across all
1000 pages. If you require that the editor do it (even if one could be
found to do it), someone would have to manually go make changes. 

Doing this, through SSI, some ASP scripting, or other methods isn't unusual
-- if the server can't handle that load, an upgrade might be in order,
rather than requiring the author to manually edit thousands of pages.
