You have knowledge about the decimal system without ever had to learned it? Makes no sense. Seems like you're trying to make an implied distinction about things we learn naturally and things we read and rehearse. Ultimately, you're skipping the question and jumping to consequences. You don't care about whether it exists or not, you're trying to think what it means if it does. However, since you're skipping what it actually means, that whole set of consequences is constrained to your worldview (or some worldview you decided should be presented in this discussion). In my conception of the idea, there is no perceptible side-effect of eidetic memory on normal relationships. It would require some apparatus to detect such things. I will accept your reversion of things, now that I restated the problem back to the original question. I would gladly be friends with someone who remembers everything and I think it would be a productive friendship.

Digits, 11, decimal, and system; provides all the context required to reason out that the decimal system does not contain 11 digits. Unless you think not learning about the decimal system also means you never learned any words or roots used by the decimal system and magically became ignorant of the languages English is built on.

  Why did you focused on a simple example and missed the point?

    Because your "points" were all more of the same and my responses would have been the same, walking you though the logic of my reasoning and just reiterating what I said. I was making a point. My response would have been different had you shown some effort in wanting to understanding what I said, but instead you made assertions about things like what I care about and said that you don't think there would be any downsides with nothing to support it but your ideal, etc.

      I understand your frustration. I just don't share the same feeling.
