Rote learners don't need a phone book in their phones. They will learn all the phone numbers eventually when they have nothing left to learn.

Phone book is for the people who don't want to waste their time learning random numbers. We can call them smart people.
How many phone numbers can you recall?
I can do maybe 10, not more than that.

I can remember hundreds of phones numbers.

@SW-User How do you do that?

@Peterpaul17 It's a side-effect of being somebody who cannot refrain from obsessing over pointless details. The phone numbers become like nursery rhymes in my head.

@SW-User That's how I used to do it too. Each number was like it's own little song or rhyme 😁
