"most people mean" implies most people since the King James version was published. Not at all clear that's what author meant; the concept of the world as we now know it didn't exist then. So very reasonable to conclude

Maybe you are missing the point made? For many people (and other animals), memory is tied to a specific place. The poster knows that the note they made is i.e. red notebook on top shelf, page 12, top left corner. Searching in digital notes
