Universities try to shoot for 90% correctness/retention for students. In almost every post-college career, that number is 70% or even less in order to be a successful employee. Being correct about facts 90% of the time is less valuable than having a better overview about more topics. I think schools should speed up in information rate but decrease the required retention for excelling. The most useful classes I had for my career were the ones taught at 900mph where I thought I understood nothing, yet I learned the most from them.
