If you have poor recall, how do you know what you need to look up? How do you know what entry points you have in your 'zettelkasten'? If you have no intention to recall information, why even bother taking notes? Instead of searching your notes, or following a zettelkasten ID trail, search the internet. We want to be able to _use_ information.

I'm all for the zettelkasten method, for good notetaking habits...however there's also a tendency of many notetakers, or productivity porn on notetaking, to waste so much time 'notetaking' and 'organising' that they never _act_. (I've been very guilty of this in the past).

Recall isn't bad. It's essential. It is, however, not the _only_ thing to use. You want to use spaced repetition for the most important, most used information. Stuff that's a bit more niche, rarely used, yeah just search that.
