I'd honestly rather someone forget my name than appear to remember it because they looked it up in some "relationship manager".

I wish I had a memory good enough to remember the names of anyone besides my own family and the people I interact with on a weekly basis. Actually scratch that, I don’t even remember the names of some of my extended family.

Look, you might think this is creepy, and I get that. But for some, this kind of software is a valuable crutch. And you wouldn’t kick a crutch out from under someone who cannot walk unassisted.

The idea is to keep the relationship manager a secret.
I know. I don't want the fake memory.
The name of a friend, sure, I agree.

What about the name of a dude you got introduced to at a party and they mentioned they played the guitar and you were thinking about starting a garage band the next year?
