Whoops, sorry to blow your entire argument out of the water, but this
entire paragraph is pure bullshit.
Please take a course in brain and cognitive sciences, dealing with
human memory.
For instance, current belief is that the rate of forgetting is a
function of how well the information is learned, not how often you see
it.
So if you just *look up* the function, for half a second, to see which
one does what you want, you aren't going to rememember it any better or worse.

I like to fill my tub up with water, then turn the shower on and
act like I'm in a submarine that's been hit.
