I would never cut a book apart intentionally, because of early years when I had so little money for books that each one was precious just for the fact that it was now mine. But I can see the sense of your system, yup.
Highlighting... only when I'm totally overwhelmed by what's in the text and have to connect with it somehow, apart from the actual reading process. Highlighting co-exists with making marginal notes and symbols, for me. Each symbol has a significance in my own sort of hands-on shorthand.
