One of the limiting factors in acquiring new knowledge is the barrier of understanding. Building knowledge in your brain is like
assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Some pieces cannot be placed in the puzzle before the others. Some pieces capitalize on others. There is no point in memorizing facts about
Higgs boson before you learn what the
standard model is and that, in turn, should follow the general understanding of
particle physics which itself requires some
ABC of physics. In
incremental reading, if you encounter a text related to
Higgs boson you can manually delay it until the time you hope your
Physics ABC will provide the ground for understanding the boson.

Advantages of incremental reading - supermemo.gurumaterial, 95% retention figure refers only to the set of top-priority questions. To save time, low priority material may be reviewed less frequently, resulting in lower retention.

In incremental reading, if you encounter a text related to Higgs boson you can manually delay it until the time you hope your Physics ABC will provide the ground for understanding the boson. In traditional reading, you would just waste your time on reviewing Higgs boson material just because you would not have tools to effectively reschedule and reprioritize your reading in Summary
