On a somewhat related note, I read an article a few days ago that said forgetfulness is a sign of high intelligence. I'm not sure I buy it, but I seized the moment with my wife, as she says I often forget things like where I place my car keys, something she tells me to pick up at the grocery store, and other minor items. The alleged science behind this seemed fuzzy to me, basically sort of a situation where your brain only focuses on important things, and moves the unimportant things to the side so that it can devote more resources to the important things.
