Thanks for the video. The example he gave was a wizard learning spells, where each spell was a pretty independent unit of collection of facts.

What I fail to see is how this would work with scientific articles — reviewing independent sections from articles without the larger context is often useless (or at least far less useful).

Is there an example of this?

Do you have an example article? Would be easier to give some concrete advice with that since I'm not 100% sure what you mean by scientific articles (which I personally find fine. I do not find scientific papers so fine though).
