J.M.,

That's an interesting article, but, as was pointed out, some memories are in fact in first person and some are independently confirmed by physical evidence or unsolicited or uncoached 3rd party reports.

To presuppose a memory is necessarily inaccurate in its details or didn't happen happen at all if it is not in fact completely independently "remembered" but instead partly "recounted" is, again, to presume that those recounting the event are also mistaken or deliberately lying. Just because you need to be reminded she wore blue on the day you asked her to marry you doesn't invalidate the fact you remember her response word for word.

And yes, as a former criminology student I'm aware of the weaknesses of "eye witness" testimony, but to suppose, based on the possibility a particular memory may be false, that it is necessarily false is poor science.

Barring documentedly contradictory evidence (or an unspeakably high risk of serious consequences) I prefer to just take folks at their word as far as memories go.

All three are sufficiently tortuous.

Nah, Lincsong, I'm totally different in real life then I am on here. I don't like kids, but then again, they never believe me.

We did have a "tea" and learned manners, then made paper airplanes where I ran around like an idiot because I was the target. I think I scared the parents when I started screaming "Wait! Wait! the pins!" while I was laughing. The boys knew to wait, the moms looked at me really strangely.
