Probably a good thing too, because whatever you learn that rhymes, there will be a criticism that also rhymes. Seems like the cognitive bias matters mostly when some things use rhyme, but others don't.
It's also interesting to see cultural differences here (partly coming from the respective languages themselves):
• In English, rhyming/versification is relatively limited, and (so?) rhyme is dismissed as for less-serious poetry/“doggerel”, and the reactions to this article are along the lines of seeing rhyming information as low-quality, and the memorability of verse as a problem,
• From experience with Sanskrit which lends itself very well to versification (both the nature of the language itself, and the nature of education which emphasized facility with language), and “serious” works are in metrical verse, I tend more to see this memorability of verse as an underutilized useful tool rather than a problem. (My father, teaching within an education system that requires students to memorize lists and reproduce them in the exam, used to compose rhyming verses for his students to remember e.g. points of law like the definition of a breach-of-contract: I imagine both he and several of his students still remember several of those from decades ago.)
There's a lot of interest on HN in things like spaced repetition; I would have imagined “make a memorable verse out of it” would be in a similar category but cultural/linguistic barriers seem to prevent it.
