Once Ed Bloom said to Ron Boutwell:

RBEB>EB>I had trouble learning the work in that manner.  I do not memorize
RBEB>EB>details well.  But I great at indexing, knowing where I read, heard
RBEB>EB>etc of the item and can go get the full information in a snap.

RBEB>EB>I do have trouble with profiecency in open Lodge.  I really do not
RBEB>EB>care what the outcome is, but if the Lodge would prefer not to do
RBEB>EB>this then let them.  A dictate like this only serves to push the GL
RBEB>EB>staff farther away from the the local leadership.

And Ron replied:

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

The Ed added:

I agree 100%.  Learning is very different from memorizing.  There are
those that can do both well.  I am not one of them.  I prefer learning.
That is one reason I am on the network and the masonry forum on CIS.
