True.  I can see why perhaps a few hundred years ago, they (may have) required
the candidate to memorize everything completely and recite it.  Many people were
completely illiterate then.  This is how they learned the Bible as well.  But
 today, we
can read, and look things up as you said.  Is it still necessary?  And I still
 maintain
that there is a difference between "learning" and "memorizing".
