I couldn't agree with you more, Brandon. It happened to me!
In college I TA-ed a technology commercialization class (I had never taken it myself). I got to look at all their papers, assignments etc. The next term I took a similar class (entrepreneurship), and was charged with plagiarism by the college!! I was shocked, I never plagiarized! They said there was a lot of work turned in the other class that shared similar ideas. They told me what part of my work was in question. I dug around my old files, and found that I had subconsciously pieced together my entire proposal based on three or four submissions! I didn’t even remember them! However each unique aspect of my proposal was ripped off. The profs liked me, I got off the hook, had to re-do the work. But since then I have known that what we know and what’s in our arsenal are not the same thing always.
You know how they say you forget a huge percentage of what you learn every day, I say forget? Maybe. Unable to "come up with it ourselves in the future", unlikely.
