> I doubt the claim in the title

There's a few reasons for this. Choline used in cell walls is also used in the connections to neurons and is also used in the alveoli to lower the pressure of the fluid to enable the gas exchange in a passive diffusion way.

So something causing inflammation in the lungs will likely be increasing the requirement for choline. This is why you see brain fog with Covid and asthma is probably no different in some situations when experience a debilitating bout of attacks.

Some Cancer's and treatment cause brain fog. Again a need for choline exists.

Pregnancy when the foetus starts growing quickly, again brain fog occurs and the need for choline exists.

However there is an additional factor. There is an oestrogen-choline pathway, which means if calorie intake falls below 750 calories, unless you are a reproductive capable female or reproductive capable male with high levels of aromatase, you will experience a variety of damage to organs and elsewhere throughout the body. Its this oestrogen-choline pathway which off-sets/mitigates the brain fog experienced by some women during pregnancy. If men have high levels of aromatase, aromatase converts testosterone into oestrogen. This is why effeminate males have high mental abilities. Omega-3 is an aromatase inhibitor.

When choline levels are low, the connections between neurons shrink eventually breaking the connection between neurons leaving what can best be described as stumps, thats when your memories disappear from your consciousness.

When enough choline enters the diet or the sex hormones increase for the oestrogen-choline pathway, you get your memories back, these stumps on the neurons start growing again and the connections get reformed. I used to think it might have been possible to mix up memories from cross wired neuronal connections, but having seen how these connections branch out, eventually the cross wired connections should resolve themselves and make it possible to get the original memories back, but I think recall might be an issue, which is what you might be experiencing. Different triggers to previous triggers but perfect memory recall.

This is why I disagree with your title doubt, but you are right about the negativity of the eidetic memory as it does also bring back my child abuse at the hands of state employees. Dont ever see a psychologist, they will just bring all that trauma back and then it messes you up. The State know this which is why some laws exists and some dont, like why people are considered a child incapable of making decisions until the age of 18, the obfuscation with the idea of consent as another example. The state give away their knowledge with their actions and inactions and thus their complicity in crimes carried out on people. Its very clever stuff, that they like to pass off as incompetence.

On the point of eidetic memories. I have one everyone has one if their diet is right and/or lifestyle. When my customers would phone up saying a bit of their program was not working, I would visualise the code in my head and knew exactly where to go to fix it. Same with books or text on webpages, I visual the sentences on the page and can tell you exactly where to look.

This is linked to choline, but its also linked to rhodopsin's which you find in your eyes (the rods) or rhodopsin like proteins which we almost certainly ingest from tomatoes as rhodopsin's have the colour attribute of being in the red's, pink's and purple's range, but mainly red's to purples.

This brain visualisation I experience when recalling stuff like program code or facts and figures from stuff I have read may also be linked to the rhodopsin's, its not something I've even considered before until now, but as a kid I grew up on kilo's of wild blackberries, eggs (we had loads of chickens), alot of potatoes which is starch rich and the only sugar the immune system doesn't attack, and plenty of veg. Not a strict vegetarian diet, but perhaps considered an anti-inflammatory diet, very organic, tapped spring water, not even on the mains.

I think Prof Bruce Ames Triage theory can also be proved with choline intake, exercise and memory performance. So if doing alot of aerobic exercise like running, I would surmise that choline diverts to the lungs, but when that exercise plateau is reached, this is mainly a dietary limit which can then be altered with supplements like choline. Exercise also triggers other chemical changes ammonia build up which is normally sweated out, but ammonia can compliment the immune system, namely histidine and histidine intake can affect things like the thickness of the myelin wall around nerves.

So on a fixed diet, there will be a sweet spot where optimum running and mental performance cant be increased any further. Obviously as this is a sort of twin peak thing, it should be possible to increase one of the peaks at the expense of another.

I wouldnt consider myself knowledgeable, I'm not qualified in anything, I have no pieces of paper's from uni's and what exam results I have, I never checked my exam papers against the text books, so I dont accept my grades either.

In my limited experience, I think some exam results are awarded based on behaviour and not intelligence, but thats my opinion.

On the point of testing eidetic memory on the population without anyone recognising, Computer programming is an excellent every day eidetic memory test. Our programming IDE are also everyday stealth tests, like font size for eye sight tests, colour of fonts for colour blindness.

Even opening a PDF in a browser like MS Edge, where the PDF fonts are known can also test eyesight by how much you enlarge a PDF or not, something that can be done to most of the population.

So many subtle tests exist to monitor our physical health, I wonder if MS, Apple and Google have even considered selling this meta data to health insurance companies and govts, if they are not already!!!

To say I haven't been experimented on against my will, would be an understatement.

Anyway, excellent phish!

Edit. One example of govt stealth testing on the population is the removal of grammar schools here in the UK, Edwina Currie Salmonella Egg Scare and Margaret Thatcher removal of milk from schools. If you know what the removal of their effect is mentally and physically, you could quantify the stealth effects of politicians actions.
