OK good point. Still, I don't think that's the generic case. And even with chess, you get to recognise configurations if you love analysing games.
Incidentally, & anecdotally, until pretty recently I thought of understanding and memorizing as rather more separate. After I started experimenting with memory systems, I was shocked by how much faster I started to understand things.

My eventual conclusion was that I had earlier greatly underestimated the role of memory in understanding. (This is much less true in areas I’m already an expert in; the effect is strongest for areas a little apart from things I know well.)

I’ve radically changed my beliefs in this area over the past two years.
