I don't know next year.


By Slucido's Postulate, aren't non-spaced flashcards just as good as SRS if there's INPUT + OUTPUT + TIME?


If you're using it, why wouldn't it be?

The flashcards available at LingQ are non-spaced, and plenty of people use that method to learn languages.

Oh, wait! Maybe she said you have to have seen that word used in x number of different contexts before you really "know" it.


I can definitely agree with that, and that seems to be about the right number in my experience.

As for SRS, isn't the whole point that it's a more efficient/better method than traditional flashcards?

And therefore -- THEREFORE -- doesn't it mean that if a sufficient number of people find a method to be better than another, it is, for all practical purposes, better, thus annulling slucido's argument?

If more people like chocolate ice cream, does that make it better?

I mean, seriously, since when does personal preference come down to a vote.

If more people enjoy chocolate ice cream, then chocolate ice cream is better for the stated goal - to bring most enjoyment to the greatest number of people.

And furthermore -- FURTHERMORE -- no. How could it. It's all some variation of input + output + time.
