When I spoke of the short memory of the tango scene, I meant something quite different: you won't be forgotten as an individual, but as a dancer. If you dance infrequently or have taken long breaks, you'll be functionally forgotten. The attitude of followers towards you is suddenly completely different: before, everyone wanted to integrate you into their networks. If you no longer reliably show up at the milongas, you'll be immediately marginalized. You will be forgotten, even though all the details of your life will remain in their memory.

In very old layers of earth, archaeologists found stone tools and bones with scratches and traces of working. In more recent sites, fragments of clay vessels lie scattered about. Archaeologists who study our present time will find memory chips on which vast quantities of superfluous vids and duplicate photos are recorded.
