  Hi @harrikj @theawakening and @stevethecamel
  
  I think a lot of this is to do with the general differences between people. Due to a combination of genes and the environment we live in, we will all end up with slightly different memory abilities, just as we’re all slightly different heights, and all look and behave differently to each other.
  
  What do you think about this?
