Tobin,

I'm not sure I agree with your assessment. You seem to be talking about two
different things: habits and knowledge. Consciously making and breaking
habits are both difficult and time consuming. Gaining and forgetting
"knowledge" are relatively simple and take relatively little time.

If I've misunderstood you, please let me know.
