I often wonder if those studies about "copying the entire lecture by taking notes" are an example of the Simpson Paradox. Breaking them down to sub-groups of students and their experience would surely reveal another picture. At least some students can't benefit from this, as my experience mirrors yours. Courses that required me to write everything down were those where I couldn't remember anything at the end. I just can't write and listen / comprehend at the same time.
