To me "learning" means understanding, not memorization on flashcards. Knowing stuff is part of it, but for me, the knowing comes from the understanding.

I would describe this as a non-injective function. Unambiguous in one direction, but ambiguous in the other. It seems to be very common in lecturers who (1) have forgotten what it was like to learn it (2) aren't precise enough to ensure clarity as a matter of rigour.
Criticism aside, learning something is infinitely better than learning nothing. And finding a way to make it enjoyable and satisfying is a worthwhile end in itself.
Ratchet & Clank is the only demo with new gameplay based on the SSD.
But it's overused, giving each game world less weight. The technological imperative, preoccupied with whether they could, etc.
In contrast, artificial constraints add depth to gameplay, e.g. limited movement speed/duration ("sprint").
All that said, keeping processors fed with data is a central problem of CS. The innovations here are not just the SSD itself, but elimination of bottlenecks in the architecture (e.g. direct placement in GPU RAM).
Typically, storage is 1000x slower than RAM. On PS5, it's 50x. That has got to be a revolution in algorithmic space-time tradeoffs... which has got to be reflected in gameplay, somehow, somewhen.

Sounds like neoteny, the retention of juvenile characteristics in adulthood. See: domesticated foxes, dogs (esp toy breeds), people. Seems like a particularly easy evolutionary path, perhaps take a step back, then forward.

Sometimes it's better to go with the crowd, even if you're right.
Dual licensing: for an open source library that some businesses will want to distribute with their closed source product, use GPL 2 which doesn't allow that. Then businesses will pay for a commerical license from you that does allow it.
It doesn't affect open source users; though Stallman doesn't like it. Projects using this kind of idea are berkleyDB and ghostscript.
