I've had three doctors tell me, why would you look at a study from 2006 from the first sars outbreak to determine effectiveness or harm of mask. These people are nuts.

Mark - watching your Ted talk lead me down some mroe Tex videos to one on Ted-Ed about memory that got my butt lit due to what I felt was a lt of bad takeson memory. I will asume the human memory falls within your knowledge domain. One statement in the video at the end was "The probelm is that memory is not reliable" ndbased on the examples provided the narrator wasimplying over all, the majority. My issue is if that much of memory is not reliable than how can professional jobs like those in teh medical field that depend on being able to remeber what that perosn larned in school, function/work? How can the average adult who's not hd some kind of brain impacting deseae or accidnet have memories that for the majoriyty are unreliable? Wouldn't it be more accurate to say some, asmalpercent, of memroiescan beunreliable than to imply human memory as a whole is unreliable?

Thanks

Definitely those results apply to everyone. Professionals may be more likely to come up with mechanisms that help them more reliably remember, like their personal note-taking system, how they categorize their books for ease of finding the info, and so on.
