Virtually nothing in real life (apart from phone numbers)
consists of disjointed pieces destined for rote memorization.
Real information is logical, and it is this logic that makes it
memorable and retained forever.

In school and later at university we were expressly told not to
memorize mathematical facts, but to understand (which
equalled memorization) the logic of derivation and so huge
amounts of information could be reduced to remembering
basic principles, from which everything else follows.

Even when studying languages it is useless to try to memorize
word-translation pairs (this is incorrect and leads to broken
English, or other target language with necessitySo, without denying the idea of actively remembering things ( ... )
