I use Latin quite frequently to infer the meaning of words in a number of languages including but not limited to English, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Quite oddly, I'm generally not even aware that I'm inferring meaning of a word by simply studying the roots. In that sense I'm quite grateful for being taught a limited portion of its fundamentals while in high-school. All I am saying is that we may use certain bits of knowledge or certain dormant skills without our awareness to their utilisation.

All of our former experiences help us shape intuition, the same intuition which we may use to make decisions in seemingly unrelated fields. I have therefore become somewhat careful in dismissing a skill, domain of knowledge or lesson for apparent lack of use. The human brain is a fascinating machine; even while we sleep ideas and solutions take shape and who's to say which information is used to form those mental artefacts?
