I think Matuschak wants to be able to recall particular things ~forever, and spaced repetition is the best method known for that.
(Nit: Your sentence begins as a genuine expression of puzzlement rather than an outright criticism, but then you refer to Matuschak's "obsession", which pre-judges the issue. It would be more consistent to refer to his "emphasis on" or "advocacy of".)
- cloogshicer 2y agoHah, I actually was looking for a better word than 'obsession', I even used the dictionary (English isn't my native language), but couldn't find one. Then I reluctantly picked obsession. 'Emphasis on' is much better, thank you! Edit: Can't edit my original post though, time's up. But I would if I could!
