Quite interestingly, I have noticed that discussions about memory barriers are

often somehow endless. What happened in the past is that I saw countless

discussions about whether they are needed, whether they are not, and people

would argue a lot and passionately. So I thought, maybe there's a hidden topic

behind that. A "memory barrier"... Well, that very much reminds me of this

memory loss which happens to all of us in the childhood. It turns early years

into fuzzy memories. That is a barrier, too.
Whether such psychological barriers are needed or not, that's an interesting

question :)
