I'm glad I read first and comment later (which is why I always take so long to comment as that means sometimes reading multiple times x_x),
I wonder if for at least some things, you learn better because of this. There is thing called cognitive dissonance (or something) where for example, reading a hard to read font makes people slow down and learn better, so they end up with higher retention.

I thought cognitive dissonance was something along the lines of holding conflicting beliefs or saying one thing but doing another? Or was that an example of cognitive dissonance?
I feel cognitively dissonant now XD
I never remember the term... I googled it now to find out for sure:
"disfluency interventions"
Here is an abstract of one of the studies:

Seems kind of like trying to use writing to make adhd kids slow their brains down and develop their memory skills (need to keep the thought in the head long enough to come out the pen).
Probably works just about as well too (will be amazing for some and annoying as all hell for others XD).
