though there is a sense in which many things can't be reported until people 'believe in' them.
i mean...
if you go back to greek culture i don't think you find the notion of an individuals will (people don't do things becaues they want to they do things they do things because the gods make it happen).
so... does that mean the greeks didn't have will?
is the will a construct that only comes into existence once we believe in it?
how about the notion of unconscious beliefs?
before freud are there any cases of unconscious beliefs?
i don't think the lack of evidence means the phenomenon didn't occur...
and just because the phenomenon might not have occured (which i dont' think it it legitimate to infer)
but just becaues the phenomenon might not have occured

doesn't mean the notion of repressed memory is any more illegitimate than the notion of the will or the notion of unconscious belief.
