That is a refreshing contrarian view.

Do you store the metal paragraph in some form or other somewhere other than in your head?

No, I don't typically write anything down after I read some book or article. For me, it's enough to have a vague recollection that a given text had information about topic A, and if I need to really refresh my memory I try to find the actual source. I've found out that it's better for me to work as a "librarian": I might not know that detail, but I know where to find it.

I am guessing you have not regretted not being able to recollect the material that you don't recall? Do you not need any such material for professional or daily use in some form?

For professional stuff I use references heavily. I am a "data scientist", so I keep some quite good books at hand, and internet search engines are my best friends.

Cheers,
