Right, I mean memory is sufficient for most sorts of things, but if you want to do the sort of retrospective debugging and analysis the article talks about, you either need to be born a savant or rely on some external system. Eventually, when we have good neural interfaces, I think this will be done automatically, but that may or may not happen in any of our lifetimes.

We're just the first known lifeforms that seem to have an imperative beyond replication.
