No, you said eidetic memory comes in grades. It does not, it is a binary ability the same as perfect pitch. Obviously there is more to memory than an ultra rare ability, but that was never part of this discussion.
- R0b0t1 5y ago> eidetic ī-dĕt′ĭk adj. Of, relating to, or marked by extraordinarily detailed and vivid recall of visual images. There are grades of "extreme detail" ranging from instantaneous recall of your lunch three years ago as well as what everyone was wearing and what you were talking about to very very well above average recall of useful information in the form of sensory memory. The justification for this interpretation is on Wikipedia and is related to the physiological explanation of eidetic memory. Instead of semantic memory sensory memory is used, and you can see this occur to various degrees in people. The qualifiers are loose and mean different things to different people. You are not sovereign of the English language. The second definition given in my source matches yours, but it is not the only one.
- hervature 5y agoThe English language isn't sovereign to scientific terms, the science community is. If you pulled out a dictionary definition of "policy" in the reinforcement learning community, you would be ridiculed. These terms have clear and agreed upon definitions.
