I don't quite understand how that is different? Is the idea that you have nebulous knowledge of more things instead of locked in knowledge of fewer things?

What's your use case for this? Would it be good for learning say the top 5000 words in a new language or something like that?

I think the idea is that this would be more optimized for school settings where what you actually want is an algorithm for cramming.

It could make sense to cram for an exam for instance
