(Caveat: within one's field there are genuinely valuable ways of using SRS: http://cognitivemedium.com/srs-mathematics But that piece is principally about a very useful method of analysis; the use of SRS is subsidiary, & has some problems associated to opportunity cost, as discussed at the end.)

You told me once that you have things like paintings you like in your SRS — this seems lovely and right. Intuitively, it feels less hacky/risky to apply SR principles to unlabeled lovely things, rather than flashcard-style "view input, produce output, check output against record"

perhaps one can use SR as an accelerator: if you can accurately perceive that you're looking up and using something so frequently that you will have them memorized in three months, maybe SR can cut the time down to one month.

That's a helpful point of view, but it's still easy to make the mistake of using SRS to remember things that should have been no more than a low (or no) priority in the first place.
