In general, I also attend your church.

However, as I preached in that church, I had two students over the years.

* One was from an African country and told me that where he grew up, you could not "just look up data that might be relevant" because internet access was rare.

* The other was an ex US Navy officer who was stationed on a nuclear sub. She and the rest of the crew had to practice situations where they were in an emergency and cut off from the rest of the world.

Memorization of considerable amounts of data was important to both of them.
