I'm sure that to many people this still sounds like I'm just juggling words around, so here's an image.

On the x axis, we have time in days. On the y axis, we have the probability of recalling a card, which decreases as time passes. If the probability is x%, it means that given an infinitely large number of cards, you would successfully recall x% of those cards, and thus your retention would be x%.

Finally, here's the an important graph:

![Average retention vs Desired retention](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/63126764-0564-4f9e-90ed-a26a734e1193)
![Figure_2](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/410dc5d6-0477-4940-989e-79ec8794ae81)

This graph shows you how average retrievability depends on desired retention, in theory. For example, if your desired retention is 90%, you will remember about 94.7% of all your cards. Again, since FSRS may or may not be accurate for you, if you set your desired retention to 90%, your ~~average predicted retention~~ average retrievability in Stats isn't necessarily going to be exactly 94.7%.
