I'm not sure it is quite that simple. The other day someone asked me about the project I've been working on. The thing I touch nearly every single day and know in intimate detail...

It still took me what felt like a good minute or more of thinking to remember anything about it and more than that to recall specific details of interest. It would take me even longer to think about something that I don't have at the tip of my tongue, so to speak, but I find there is no such thing as an immediate answer for me. That doesn't seem to be true of all others.
