Ha, I was thinking the same... reading "forget cramming, it didn't work in college" just brought back very vivid and terrifying memories of my first year statistics course, where I "learned" the entire course contents in a night.
Personally I've tried spaced repetition so many times and things don't stick for me... it just feels like repeated cramming: I'm great while I'm doing the Anki, but next session it's back to square one.
