I don't think that it is entirely irrational. When I was in school, I used to take notes in class. Often I'd copy my notes into a nicer form so that I would eventually be able to review them more easily. I almost never reviewed the notes. The act of recording and organizing them helped fix the concepts in my mind so that I didn't need to. (I do tend to review my bookmarks from time to time, and I tend to use [Joplin](https://joplinapp.org https://joplinapp.org) to capture them along with notes about why they're being saved, these days.)
