      To be fair, having an understanding of how a particular formula or relationship was discovered and proved makes it a lot easier to remember and intuit the possible applications. Like, even the basic stuff like connecting derivatives to slopes and rates of growth helps you partially recreate the formulas for them, if you didn’t memorize them symbol for symbol

    Whatever it takes to prove that √(log k/ε² + log log n) error bound with 95% probability – “probably almost correct” – what else do you need, really?
