the same thing applies to learning tunes - tunes that one learns to
play from written music seem to embed themselves less deeply than
tunes learnt by ear.  (i learn lots of tunes...)

i think the difference might be in the degree of conscious attention
that one has directed at the problem.

that said, in the 9 world, there are still some things that i have to
look up every time, despite having researched the answer originally.
