[quote=Anonymous]PP, you seem to have skipped the part where they [i]learn and remember [/i] the stuff they "already know and learned". Most humans aren't computers who memorize everything at first sight.

When someone at work has a quick question, they want a highly paid subject matter expert to recognize the core issue and then provide a quick correct answer, not think for a while to work it out.

Skip to the part about Jared the bond trader and then Serge Lange the world-class mathematician and professor.

"Serge Lang used to give his Calculus students a fairly simple algebra problem on the first day of classes, one which almost everyone could solve, but some of them solved it as quickly as they could write while others took a while, and [b]Professor Lang claimed that all of the students who solved the problem as quickly as they could write would get an A in the Calculus course, and all the others wouldn’t. [/b]
The speed with which they solved a simple algebra problem was as good a predictor of the final grade in Calculus as a whole semester of homework, tests, midterms, and a final.

You see, if you can’t whiz through the easy stuff at 100 m.p.h., you’re never gonna get the advanced stuff."
