Good Griot Gone Bad?

Learning through the menthods of a griot do have some qualities, but there are more cons than pros. For instance, because griot methods are all oral, a lot of information can get lost in translation. Information could be changed, forgotten, or exaggerated, and the actual information can end up being completely lost. Also becuase of this, there may be several different interpertations of one piece of information, and therefore it is not consistant. On the otherhand, this learning is a lot more enjoyable, and therefore more memorable. Personally, I would remember information better if I heard it in a catchy song rather than written in 12-point Times New Roman font on a piece of paper. So, although griot learning would tend to stick in a person's memory, the information that is being remembered could be warped and could be completely different from the original information.
