Remember, the way the brain works is in fact to sort out what's valuable and keeping it. be scrupulous in keeping as much information about that environment and about how indigenous peoples understood that environment.
Even if we scrupulously follow the rules-- air traffic controllers, how will they go on strike? They scrupulously apply 100% of the rules, and then no plane can take off, because for planes to take off, they need to interpret the rules. And there is no rule about how to interpret the rules.

So 10 years of aluminous maps, scrupulous notes, counted how many birds he saw Peregrine's killed, kept track of particular birds in particular locations, just absorbed everything within the reach of his bicycle about Peregrine Falcons he could get.
