Actually, I have an easier time understanding new rules (or anything) when I understand the evolution, and context, of that rule. Some people are good memorizers, I'm not, as were many of my students. I learn best, and most of my students learned best, by understanding something, not just memorizing something. Maybe this is peculiar to teaching, and studying, science, but I believe that it covers a lot of learning situations in life.

Again, some are good memorizers. I'm not. I envy them.
