You said, with regards to memorization, in your OP:

"I'm convinced anyone can do this and the major thing stopping them is their belief that they can't do it."

If you want to now adjust that claim and say "some can do it", you better be able to tell us how to distinguish.

Oh you're just being so silly now. Here is my original comment:

I'm convinced anyone can do this and the major thing stopping them is their belief that they can't do it.

Here is how I am comfortable revising it for the offended sticklers in this thread:

I'm convinced anyone (of typical mental capacity) can do this and the major thing stopping them is their belief that they can't do it.

I'm asking you to be rigorous with your claims. And there's nothing wrong with being pedantic.

If you can't respond to questions without getting defensive, please grow up.

I'm just writing to let you know your insulting responses have earned you no further replies from me. I invite you to reconsider how you write to people on the internet and perhaps avoid writing things like, "grow up."

This thread has given me more karma than your entire account has received in its existence. I think it's clear there is a vocal minority of people who are posting a half-dozen comments each in this thread while the vast majority at least don't find what I'm saying as offensive as you apparently do.

Oh my goodness! What was the point of saying that, really?

I don't find this offensive. I'm just asking you to be technically correct with what you say, or to at least address the people who are confused by what you're saying. Apparently, that's too high of a standard for you to live up to.
