cold storage = on a flash disk stored in a safe

This sounds a lot better than printing to paper. What if paper quality degrades and you won't be able to scan the QR...

What if the USB breaks or becomes corrupted and you lose it?

Then just like paper the whole cold storage talk is not secure as well as hot storage if one can't secure the online wallet well enough.
