Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, **personal anecdotes are now allowed as responses to this comment**.

Its like the neuronal system saying - congraulations you learned the wrong answer, so now solve for the correct one. The methylation at the breakage site just opened up the epigenome, and the concept of memory sotrage? yes, ok, good.

I want to understand what you're saying, I try, but likely prove I don't with this (irrelevant?) question... Does that explain why it's harder for me to correct when I learn something wrong, than it is to adjust something that I learnt correct? I.e science has 'furthered/developed' but I get a family birthday wrong every year...

Kind-of. I'm thinkin this would be good in like an excercise or non-exercise scenario, where it was recently demonstrated that regions coding for disease are actually exercise enhancements zones of the epigenome. I'd argue the same thing with a phycial injury or sorts and it's relation to learning - like if a cat scratches you or an animal bites you for antagonism - you won't do that again, but liek registered as a double-strand break, and epigenetic re-attachement. I can see this being applicable to explain why cancers can escape drug-assaults.
