Why can't it be said that the Constitution is a living document?

Of course the statement "the constitution is a living document" is metaphorical, since no document is living, it's a piece of paper with writing on it. As a metaphor, this statement would suggest that the constitution remains relevant and connected to the society which it helped to establish in the late 18th century, which is a long time ago. If you think that the constitution has become irrelevant, then you would say that the constitution is not a living document. Personally I find it to still be relevant.
