"To learn, read. To know, write. To master, teach."
I've noticed it myself, too. You really do forget what it's like until you find someone who /really/ wants to learn but doesn't know anything at all. I think there's a lot to be said for the apprenticeship system for use in human learning. I have severe doubts about the ability of a human to master a thing without a student to teach.
I think the real question is how do we retain information better, if that would happen, then surely you don't need someone to actively remind you of hidden information. If I retained 1% of the stuff I've read in the past, I'd be the equivalent to an encyclopaedia. I write tutorials sometimes, and my ability to write good ones has never depended on the presence or absence on participants.
