I really have to disagree with you here. Yes, the
bodies of information drawn from to write for academic
and trash differ, but I think that when that
information is recalled many of the same processes are at
work. Whether you're asking about George Clinton the VP
or George Clinton the musician, I'm going to
approach the material the same way as it's being read to
me.
Prowess at trash and prowess at academic material are
quite different. I even think that people that are good
at one can be good at the other. It's all a matter
of the work you're willing to put in. I no longer
wish to work at academic competition, but all doing
well at trash requires of me is that I watch TV. It's
all in what you *want* to be good at. The animals
really aren't that different.
