It still feels like there’s a difference between grokking ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok) something and memorizing it. If we break our intuition down to its atomic bits, there probably is a translation between our intuition and something memorizable. But does memorizing something connect the right neural pathways in our minds to eventually grok that something? I don’t see immediately a reason why not, assuming all our learning can be reduced to something like I describe above.
