As a kid (four or five, I can’t remember clearly enough, although I can remember exactly where I was standing and what I was thinking about) I can clearly recall wondering whether it was necessary to hold onto the reasoning behind a conclusion, or whether is was only the conclusion that matters.
I foolishly decided only the conclusion matters, whereas (as there is no truth, only debate and argument) only the reasoning is really significant.
I think, in a nutshell, that I will tell my kids that “you must always be able to tell a story”. Telling a story is the best way to remember something, and the best way to make the reasoning/context accessible to other people.
I will begin doing this myself.
