That just doesn’t feel like how Remembralls work, though. For one, “forgotten something” involves having known it: using Aristotelian instead of Newtonian physics seems like a mistake, not a forgetting. Like, if he had learned through some comically painful experience that broomsticks did indeed follow Newtonian laws, and then put a rocket on his broomstick: I would expect the Remembrall to be glowing this brightly at this point.
For two, a simple magic item that works exactly as intended, no matter how trivial or gigantic the task—that feels like how magic items in the MoR Potterverse ought to behave.
For what it’s worth, I believe Vaniver has the right answer.
