I don’t think of this as rote memorization tho. This is about, can you read, identify, and explain the different parts. Now, you might not think that is a good test to see if someone is competent or not — and I’m not going to pretend it is perfect. But as these things go, I don’t think it’s a bad starting point. I could explain nearly every one of those ten lines (and again, I’d have to see to full origin-trials line to know for sure, but I’d say there is a 70% I could infer/BS the answer), not because I’ve memorized anything but because I’ve spent years writing and reading this sort of thing. Now, if you asked me to write the first ten lines perfectly without any mistakes or use of code completions or boilerplate, I would almost assuredly fail. To me, that’s a stupid memorization test. But asking someone to explain why something is there and what it does, I don’t think that’s the same thing at all.
