Poor Mendeleev is rolling in his grave right now! The man literally created the periodic table as an organizational system to make chemistry easier to understand - grouping elements by their properties so nobody would have to memorize each one individually. Then chemistry teachers everywhere decided "Nah, let's make students memorize the ENTIRE TABLE instead!" The ultimate scientific betrayal! His disappointed face says it all. That's like inventing GPS so people don't get lost, only for driving instructors to make students memorize every street name in the city.
