That works ONLY if there is a single printed version of the referenced document. Any reprint, any new release (modifications), breaks that association with the page number. The referencing system in use today usually involves very specific identification of the source by author, publisher, release date, etc. Page numbers for printed books work only if one has access to the very same copy of the printed source.
