I understand what you mean but I think you underestimate how critical memory is for all forms of learning (even creative work/learning).

Our working memories have a capacity of 4. This means that we basically can't understand something if it requires more than 4 pieces of New knowledge to understand. To understand more complicated things we need to move some of the knowledge into our long-term memories.

We wrote an article on this topic here that i'd love to know what you think of
