[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7524019, member: 6919838"] Not to me, no. Consider this real world example, a chef might come across a pot bubbling on the stove, smeel it, stir it, taste it then come to the conclusion about that its a pasta dish with something like a vodka sauce and it needs more peppers. On the other hand, someone eho knows the recipe might just look at it and ask "wheres the peppers that goes in penne rustico"? A locksmith,might figure out how to,oen a combo lock in a minute but someone with the combo can just open it. Someone may work out a scrambled word puzzle in a minute but... All are examoles of a direct study and working thru it and a case of someone who alteasy knows the answer. They are different things entirely - just with similar outcomes. Consider if your beastmaster spotted a moogletron and took his minute to figure out its "pick a trait". If he encountered another one tomorrow would you require a minute for him to recall that info again? What about if its just an hour later? Key is, how long it takes you or someone else to learn something is unrelated to how long it takes to recall it - except perhaps the harder it was to learn the more you remember it - harder to forget.
