I'm pretty sure he is saying "use our product to learn a single subject to 100% and you will see what I mean".
Often it is hard to explain the benefits of a platform with a few quick comments on hn.

Yeah, I was a bit too negative with my feedback, on second reading you are right.

I see that you're angry, but I think it's because you misread my comment.
When I wrote "I encourage you to learn a subject towards 100% mastery and you'll see exactly what we mean" it was purely meant to encourage you to learn a small subject on Memorang to help answer your questions about the methods you inquired regarding interacting with the learning system. It wasn't, as you seem to believe, a statement that you couldn't learn via alternative methodologies.

You're right, I'm sorry to have assumed the worst! Looking back I definitely came across rather negative.
I will give it a go, the screenshots look quite nice.
"The ultimate goal would be to be perfectly guided to mastery"...? Yeah, and the ultimate goal of every NLP startup is to have 100% natural language understanding by the machine... but that doesn't mean that any of them can promise that in the foreseeable future, or that I won't laugh at them if they do.
"I would encourage you to learn a subject towards 100% and you'll see exactly what we mean."
That... is already what I do with Anki, or at least as reasonably close to 100% as possible under reasonable time constraints. It's patronising of you to assume that I don't, or to claim that your product is the only way to reach that.
Good luck with your startup.
