That seems a bit excessive.  Do you memorize
everything?  I don't,
mostly because my memory is not as good as when I
was young.
Secondarily, because I don't like distributing
potentially wrong
proofs and calculations.  If you have memorized
everything, I too
would be very impressed.

No less complex than basic physics, computer code in

I disagree. There's no complexity in that at all. It's
no different
than "roses are red, violets are blue...." It's no
different than
playing or singing music. I have no idea where and how
it's stored,
but when I lay my hands and fingers on the keyboard,
they know where
to go. Strange thing is that I can't play the keyboard
or the guitar
and sing at the same time. I've been told that both
functions use the
same little chunk of brain. That has limited my
entertainment value.

Memorizing physics formulae or a part in a Shakespeare play

No argument there.. Some aspects of computer programming

generally requires analytical ability and what they call

Yes that's true.
 
But Fermi couldn't advance knowledge without first
understanding basic physics.
 
You'll counter that John Lenin never learned music theory
and could neither read nor write musical notation all his
short life. That's also true.
 
But learning basic theory and principle helps immensely for
those of us who are not geniuses.

oops Lennon sorry.

I didn't even notice the mistake, and if I had, it wouldn't have been
worth mentioning. I knew who you were referring to, and for me, that's
all that matters.

IMO, people who go around noting and correcting other people's
mistakes are one of humankind's albatrosses.
