It doesn't mean it's a bad thing as [[id:c0e4fb0e-68f2-4db4-8c3e-f5a7845738c3][Understanding comes first from memory]]. The amount of things is too great that deserve our limited attention. We can still make sense of the things we know since [[id:9f1f35dd-7cf9-4f47-a9a9-b647e5daa2af][We are more associative than structured]].
