The writing of the oral law was a necessity in order the Torah should not be forgotten. The Rabbenu Bachaya explains at the end of Parashas Ki Siso that Rebbi only wrote down in the mishna what he felt was necessary for their understanding and as the generations came, more elaboration was required. Rav Nossan Adler only put dots on the margin because he had a photographic memory and complete writing was not necessary.
