Just a - maybe stupid - question:
Is the name of the advantage the right way round?
I always thought that a photographic memory would mean: You remember everything you ever have seen.
And an eidetic memory would include everything you ever have noticed, whether you have seen, heard, smelled or noticed by any other sense.
