> The problem with skipping memorization of concepts after having understood something is that two months later, you'll have forgotten those concepts.
The key realization, for me, is that conceptual understanding, intuitions, and key insights are themselves just pieces of information that can be memorized.
E.g.: Q: How to derive Bayes' Theorem? A: Write P(A and B) two different ways.
