Great point, Brent. This phenomena has been studied at length. What has been found is that eye witnesses, even when told they will be asked to decribe what they saw (so they better pay attention) will provide wildly varying accounts of the same event with astonishing regularity. As a matter of fact, those studying this phenomema will tell you there is actually something wrong if their stories match. Ask any cop - if the story among several suspects matches too closely, they know it's been rehearsed, raising suspicions.
Good thing this BBS is blessed with those who can tell us
exactly what happened regarding any given incident, forgoing any requirement whatsoever to have actually witnessed the event under discussion. And they can pull this off time and time again, without fail. What a talent. What a resource. What a bunch of blithering idiots.
