We fail to remember their names because we have lately run into people of even higher rankings. That's why we fail to remember them – they're simply not big enough names to merit our attention.
I'm joking, of course. The real reason we fail to remember them, the reason I want to raise here at any rate, is simply because that we do not meet them often enough.
Take classmates for example. There are 62 other fellow students in the room and you can't remember all their names and faces on the first introduction (if you can, you'd better not say so because your teacher may ask you to leave the room, saying this class is not for you, if they find out that you're genius). But you meet them every day and soon enough you are able to match their faces with their names. All of them, even those you hate to remember. And you realize it's not such a great effort after all.
So therefore, today, I'm going to offer a little test on you, to check my little theory (that English idioms become second nature to us if we meet them a lot and speak them a little) and, more importantly, what is called your "feel" for the English language.
Now, what does "as much" mean in a sentence like "and he said as much"?
Instead of explanations first, this time I'm giving examples first.
Example 1: This man's occupation is gone. He is lost if he returns to London. If I read his character right he will devote his whole energies to revenging himself upon me. He said as much in our short interview, and I fancy that he meant it.
