This comment reminded my of an episode of Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History podcast on memory -- with Brian Williams' story around an experience he had in Iraq 15 years ago. If I remember correctly, the takeaway is that memory isn't infallible.. not a video recording of the past. He also describes experiments done on flashbulb memories (e.g. what were you doing when you heard about 9/11).. and found that people who wrote down that week what they were doing, then returned to that notation years later, will swear they remember it differently.. admit it's their handwriting but express they must have been lying at the time. Pretty interesting stuff. http://revisionisthistory.com/episodes/24-free-brian-williams http://revisionisthistory.com/episodes/24-free-brian-william...
