Because as they are generalizations of LSTM, if one understands RHNs, one can understand LSTMs as just a particular case of RHN. Instead of handwaving about &amp;quot;forgetting&amp;quot;, it is IMO better to understand the problem of vanishing gradients and how can forget gates actually help with them. And Jürgen Schmidhuber, the inventor of LSTM, is a co-author of the RHN paper.
