I know you said we should respond, but I really want to clarify something:

We never doubted that Lucy can memorize a book to the degree needed for this chapter.

The problem was that in order for the theory in question to work, Lucy would have to remember not just every word, but every single letter of the entire book AND be able to rearrange the entire book in only her mind without writing down a single letter.

On top of that what Lucy did in this chapter could also be done by someone who doesn't remember every word. If you have the sentence "Natsu Dragneel is a _____lthy person without any sickness or injury." it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the truncated word is probably "healthy" even if you never read the book while it was still whole.

Understanding the language and having context around the blanks makes it infinitely more easy to replace missing parts.

But that's all I'm going to say and I most certainly won't be baited if the person tries to start up a new debate.

Oh well... at least Acnologia didn't kill himself like August and Irene... not yet anyway... I'm worried.


 * takes chalice and throws it in the general direction of Kubo and the magazine executives in the hopes of hitting at least someone responsible for the farce*
