    Is that knowledge useful in any way? Knowing a fight happened specifically in issos and specifically in 333 doesn’t even help with historical context.

      It taught the value of mnemonics. :D

      No, I don’t think it was or is particularly useful, besides things like “brain fitness”. It might have helped me back then to get a better grade, though. (Yes, we see now again how useless it is in many cases to memorize stuff for school/uni/whatever.)
