Some statistical data could be very useful though. I understand
SuperMemo has a 'leech' feature where it shows you a list of cards
that you've been constantly forgetting and re-learning, so you can
either delete them or reformulate them better.
This is nice because Mnemosyne doesn't seem to have any graceful way
of dealing with them. 0 or 1 just treat leeches as not memorized,
while setting them to 2 will slowly space them out. What one needs is
to know that this particular card is particularly naughty, but there's
no way to find that out other than to notice that a card isn't
well-written or hey, haven't I seen that too many times before?

(I don't know if Anki has any comparable feature.)
