another example would be being able to translate text between languages quickly which requires being able to conjugate verbs, recall grammar rules, etc. quickly

I do think that there are some skills which it's useful to require fast recall, e.g. simple arithmetic, or simple integrals/differentiation, because it helps when you have to chain lots of them together in a more complex topic, + it means you can spot-check stuff more easily in your head

that is a possible understanding of longtermism specifically (not one they'd agree with obviously), which is a philosophy "founded/developed" by EAs
