Not sure what you mean - are you saying that the program wouldn't have provided motivations for the structure of chords and so it would have been brute memorization? That's pretty likely. It had very minimal instruction in music theory, and actually the program is more marketed at instructors to give their students structure to their non-lesson practice time and add some gamification to motivate young (and not-so-young) learners.
