There's just no way rote learning is easier than mnemonics unless you have a photographic memory.

Shit, I still remember the order of taxonomic ranks after seeing the phrase "King Phillip came over from Germany stoned" written in a used bio textbook 30 years ago when we never even made it to that chapter to officially study in class. I guarantee I never would've remembered the list "kingdom phylum class order family genus species".
