Why do you think this research result would be of interest to Less Wrongers? No doubt, memorizing large numbers of false statements would also help your brain "become bigger and increase its activity", but this doesn't seem to be particularly helpful (besides maybe delaying the onset of degenerative diseases of the brain).

Note: I am currently learning both Japanese and Spanish in my spare time.
