Both of you are wrong entirely; photographic memory is a supernatural affliction which people are said to have by conjecture alone. It is a myth; altogether a myth; and you have been fooled by it.

i'm not ruling anything out, including the possibility that it's a myth, but i think that either way richard is using the term much too loosely. like the wiki article said, everyone who has an (in whatever way) exceptional memory, they always use the term photographic memory and then find something about how their own brain works that somehow falls in line with that. i don't think richard realises how rare this is, if it in fact exists, and how much more obvious it would be if he did in fact have it.

lol if I thought I had it I would of simply said "I have photographic memory". I instead said "I have a bit of photographic memory" as in something like it or a variant of it. I didn't know it was a "either you do or you don't" kind of thing. :P

if i have a bit of milk that means i have milk... and you don't have something 'like' it or 'a variant of' it, you just have good memory.

edit: lol i used milk as an example because it was standing in front of me then i realised its also the title of thread :o

I'm pretty sure it's real. There was a Dutch girl on Oprah who memorized the names and faces of dozens of people after briefly looking at them.

i didn't mean "bit" as in a small amount of something, I meant it like slang like when someone says "I'm a bit of a celebrity in this town" they don't mean they're 25% a celebrity, they mean they're something like a celebrity

I honestly, if i saw her today, would not recognize the person I worked with on saturday and sunday,
In battle, in the forest, at the precipice in the mountains,
On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows,
In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame,
The good deeds a man has done before defend him.

you shouldn't jump to conclusions though, small probability of someone having it doesn't mean its impossible

You were the one who tried to convince me that we only utilise 10% of our thinking capacity.

I think unicorns have a higher chance of existing than gods do. I mean, if a mare fell into the ocean and a narwhal raped it, then the mare might just give birth to a unicorn.

yeah I said earlier if I did have it I would simply have said so, but anyway you're missing the point I'm not talking about myself when I say that I'm saying some day you'll jump the gun about someone haha.

In having heard this, they said nothing, but exchanged surreptitious glances of disdain, their attention quite arrested by how abruptly the tempest had disarmed.
