- goodmythical 7mo agolol, as if pointing at a wikipedia article (without any relevant discussion of the contents therein) is some kind of conversational excellence. Or perhaps you were referring to the impact of the two in that the "sledgehammer" of "they can't make new memories" is a lot more effective than the tiny scalpel of "if you do a wikipedia search this is a single one of the relevant articles"
