Forgetting is actually very important. There was a study done on mice that had been made unable to forget. One mouse was placed into a pool of water with a randomly placed rock for them to cling to. The mice that were unable to forget would not look for the new rock location when it was moved. Instead they endlessly swam around where the rock used to be.

A good forgetery is as important as a good memory.
