Because the eidetic memory only lasts for a few minutes. The commentor might have meant to use the phrase “photographic memory”, but that has thus far been shown to be myth. But, really, the post was about “I’m smart, and I’d just march right out of that interview”, ignoring that it was just a cute anecdote, so I guess it’s irrelevant. Nice catch, though. :-)

Seriously though, I’m tired of folks doing stupid counterproductive interviews and then parading them as a good thing.
