I've got it!! The verse isn't saying "it's stupid to look in a mirror and then forget what you look like; no one would ever do that"; it's saying "hearing the word and not doing it is as useless as looking in the mirror--to see what you look like--if you're the sort of person who's going to forget right away, anyway."
There, now! Hehe. My Inner Editor wouldn't let me rest until I had figured out exactly how to phrase what I was trying to say. :-) Oh, and I seem to have messed up your comments line...they don't let you edit comments, and I realized I had left off half a sentence, so I deleted it and reposted it--with the rest of the sentence--but that's why the post you reply to is down there below your reply. Sorry about that! :-D
