    Thank you for posting this. It supports what I've been saying elsewhere in this forum:

    Note these two paragraphs (*EMPHASIS ADDED*):

    — quote —
    Yet perhaps the most striking finding in the study was *THE PARTICIPANTS’ FIRM BELIEF IN THE ACCURACY OF THEIR... MEMORIES* — most of them charged with intense emotions — *DESPITE THE FACT THAT THOSE RECOLLECTIONS WERE INCONSISTENT.*

    So if someone shares their memory of the learning about the news from Dallas as it unfolded in 1963, you can be sure their feelings are concrete *EVEN IF THEIR GRASP OF THE DETAILS OF THEIR EXPERIENCE ARE FLIMSY.*
    — unquote —

    False memory is a real issue. And your citation points out that people will get the details wrong as time goes on.

    Such as when you think you've EVER answered this?

    You've claimed that the "A.B.C.D." in the Autopsy Report is the
    description of the *location* of the large head wound.

    Yet you refuse time and time again from QUOTING the preceding
    paragraph that describes what this ACTUALLY is. Why is that?

    You've also claimed that the prosectors dissected the throat wound.

    Why do you continue to refuse to cite any evidence for this?

    Why have you CONSISTENTLY run away each time I raise this issue?
