Comment on Education doesn't increase intelligence by making people memorize things, but by constantly reminding people that they might be wrong.
Memory is often used as a facade to demonstrate intelligence that lacks thinking, though.
If we define intelligence by the development of the brain’s abilities, memorization is one of those abilities. Then, great memorization would be, per se, a feat of intelligence.
That seems somewhat circular to me. Sure, if you define it that narrowly.
