Thank you. Yes, that's obviously true... but keep in mind that human beings can pull up information from notes, books, URLs, etc. and store that information in "short-term memory" at any time, as needed, for cognitive tasks. To match or exceed peak human performance, AI models must be able to do that too -- whether it's via a long context window or some other mechanism (e.g., searching on external storage) is a secondary issue. I'd say recall is a prerequisite to match peak human performance.
