I'm not convinced we needed any help.

Given that I'm reading this article on an electronic device, do they expect me to remember it anyway? In fact, that déjà vu feeling we're having is not really déjà vu at all. We did read it 10 years ago and our brains dutifully discarded most of it as unnecessary detritus.
