One reason is because of overlearning.

Overlearning is about practicing skills, not memorizing facts.

Memorizing facts, specifically, using domain knowledge to compress the facts, thus making them easier to memorize, is a way to practice skills.

Um, no. We may be using words differently, but for me memorizing facts and practicing skills are not the same thing at all.
