People learn in different ways. I remember details of 9/11 because they were surprising not because I read about them 100 times.

That's not knowledge, that's trivia
If you say so.

You won’t be able to change my mind with an empty quip - people can and do learn by being surprised; and other folks learn differently. I’m not sure there’s much room for debate about that, but if it makes you feel good, spend the energy.
