^ I agree, I just think the level of retention is probably a bit different. When you live with something you'll probably just know it fairly innately, whereas if you need to make an effort to learn it, the facts might be more likely to get jumbled and you may forget details over time, that's all.

I mean, I know a ton about Paris Hilton now without ever actually trying to, just because it's around me all the time. I'd love to wipe that knowledge from my brain, but it's just there, you know? Whereas I did learn about Harriett Tubman in school, but I'd be hard pressed to give specifics (it was elementary school).
