Of course the purpose of "hard" is to reduce the interval. When I hit "hard", I'm saying that I don't remember this well enough and need to see it more often.

If you hit "hard" on a card, and then months later it re-appears, at which point you now remember it well and hit "good", doesn't it reset the state of that card back to normal?

No. Anki permanently modifies the ease value of the card. “Good” just grades it with no changes. You would have to hit “easy” or manually modify it.

This is why people who use Anki long term recommend not hitting the Easy button: it’s a permanent +15% modifier.

This algorithm -does- show you certain cards sooner or later but it does it in a nonintuitive way.

Cards marked “Hard” like this will end up being seen way too often. This picture (1) explains the problem.

"Good" doesn't change the interval modifier on a card; "Easy" does, however.
