As I've heard it, use your memory, then back it up with documentation if/when you need the certainty.

You can't easily consider a treatment or remedy or library function you don't remember.

The problem with using cache is that you can feel certain it's correct but you don't really know until you check with the source. And since you check with the source anyway, the cache becomes a drag to correctness
