I'm not surprised that people quickly forget irrelevant information. The value is in the times somebody says "hey, it sounds like you're touching code I'm working in, lets co-ordinate" or "it sounds like you're doing task A the hard way, lets talk about it". On my team, the throw-away todo listing usually goes very quickly. The value is in the discussion it frequently spawns. In my environment, stand-up spawns such discussion sooner and more reliably than CR/commits/etc.
