such a contrarian.
Ok...go find other people who can do what Sean McVay can do and explain it? What...he studied plays from 2015?
The ability to recall varies even within those who have the condition. But there is no doubt he has a blessed recall level.
As for me, I say he has it. Maybe they need to ask him about the weather! While he may not be Marilu Henner, he obviously has access to the part of the brain that is greater than 99% of the people.
I know people with photographic memory.
The difference is they don't remember absolutely everything. Just something that they have a certain fixation on.
The condition you talk about, they remember everything. Not just one type of thing. All McV remembers that vividly is football plays. It's not the same thing.
And in terms of memory, most modern humans don't develop the art of memory. Yet in human history we have unbelievable examples of it. I remember a book that mentioned New Guinea natives who by 11 years old k now everything there is to know about 5000 different plants in their environment. It's a completely oral culture and the only "database" they have is human memory.
Memory capacity can be made huge and has been in history before, back when it was needed. In our world most of us tend not to develop it.
