> I have trouble with memories. I know that certain core events are true, but wonder about details. These sorts of articles are not helpful, in that they make out that the whole memory could be fabricated. Some things really happened.
A "whole memory" can be fabricated. Also, which things really happened? How can one be sure? As college profs say: "Half of what you learn this quarter will be found to be incorrect within a few years, unfortunately we don't know which half."
