A flashcard can sound perfectly clear and still be wrong in a subtle way. The problem becomes harder to notice after the answer feels familiar.
- Keep the prompt short enough to review quickly.
- Keep the answer close to the source instead of over-summarizing.
- Attach the source so a doubtful card can be checked later.
The source is not decoration. It is the escape hatch when context is lost during summarization.
I would rather make a card slightly longer than make it impossible to audit.
