Searched SM2 in the archive (since some posts towards the end of the last thread mentioned it) and found this wall-of-text post:

>The version of the supermemo algorithm used by Anki is LITERALLY DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO MAKE OUTSIDE EXPOSURE PART OF HOW IT WORKS.
>There is literally nothing remotely wrong with seeing things more often than Anki shows them to you. BY THE WAY THE VERSION OF THE SUPERMEMO SPACING ALGORITHM THAT ANKI USES IS SPECIFICALLY CHOSEN FOR THE FACT THAT IT IS RESISTANT AGAINST OUTSIDE FACTORS NEGATIVELY AFFECTING THE LONG TERM RESULTS OF MEMORIZATION.
>If you don't know a common word then you haven't been seeing it enough to acquire it yet, and the idea that it being common somehow "damages" its spacing in Anki is completely fucking illogical asinine bullshit, which can only possibly have its origin in a complete and utter cult-like misunderstanding of what the fuck Anki is even for, which, by the way, is exactly the same misunderstanding of it that happens to be common in language learning communities.
>If anything, teaching yourself things that you don't need and don't see is what breaks Anki's SRS. It EXPECTS you to have studying and usage outside of Anki, because that's what it's for, making sure you don't forget information that you're going to need soon. It's not a ritual from which you mustn't deviate. The SM2+ algorithm was intentionally modified in such a way that, as long as your answers are honest, you cannot possibly fuck up the spacing algorithm in the long term.
>Memorizing things that you don't use is exactly what causes things like large amounts of leeches and misconceptions about what words actually mean. It's not uncommon for people using garbage shared decks to assume that 風 just means "wind" and is always pronounced "かぜ" despite the fact that the "style" meaning and "ふう" reading are vastly more common. This is exactly what happens when you create flashcards for things that you don't use yet. If you're mining things you're not familiar with, you're trusting yourself to make a safe card, on the spot, about something you don't understand yet and are unlikely to see often enough to correct soon. It's entirely common when making flashcards for information you rarely use to gain a deep misconception based on a minor ambiguity you never noticed, especially with translingual definitions, where this whole time you were telling Anki that you knew the fact even though you didn't. That's breaking the SRS. Seeing something a few times between reviews is not, that's just studying.
Is this all true?

If so, does this have any implications for the use of add-ons which mess with Anki's settings, e.g. by removing the Hard/Easy buttons and messing with the ease factor ('No Penalties or Boosting', 'Pass/Fail', 'experimentalCardEaseFactor' and 'avgEase' come to mind)?
