Arabic Vs Hebrew: Memorizing Vs. Understanding

Elder of Zion had a post a few days ago about Memorization versus understanding, comparing the memorizing of the Koran with the International Bible Contest--centering on the idea of chiddush.

It is an interesting post, as are the comments (to which I added about a comparison of the Arabic understanding of Classic Arabic vis-a-vis Israeli understanding of Biblical Hebrew).
