We have machines to do that for us. As in, "press Ctrl+Q, IDE shows relevant help." I don't value encyclopedic knowledge of every API out there any more...especially since those I do recall are of rather, um, limited use nowadays. Like with any language, the point isn't to cram a dictionary into your brain, it's to communicate.
