It makes one complacent and more likely to skip important steps. It also completely defeats the purpose of using checklists.
Not my advice (although I agree with it strongly), it was given to me by Al Haynes in 1997.

It sounds pointless and counterintuitive... Don't do normal checklists from memory would be the right thing to say. Memorizing them helps avoid missed items (and occurs naturally from constant repetition). Literally dozens of times I've had the other guy (especially new guys) skip something for me to go "uhh... Try again".

You don't know what you don't know until either:
a) The instructor tells you.
b) The airplane shows you.
c) You screw up and bend metal.
So ask questions! Stay humble and you will be teachable. Stay teachable and you will become expert.
