My episodic memory is also bad in the way that Eliezer describes—if I don’t semi-consciously take note of an event as it happens, trying to recall the details of that event later is difficult, and gets more difficult as more time passes. However, ‘the last time I discovered that I made a mistake was [time] ago’ and ‘I’ve made mistakes at a rate of [frequency] in [context] recently/in general’ and similar simple facts aren’t subject to that effect—they’re in the realm of semantic, not episodic, memory.
Not necessarily.
