    I think the question about car speed is a Red Herring since not everyone can estimate the speed of the car by watching the videos so the answers can be varied. That said this variable is not the indication that the witness testimony is inaccurate since it tested how accurate the witness could estimate the speed of a driving car. The question that can indicate false memory may be questioning something that is obvious such as the direction of the car that was hit whether it turned to the right or left or go forward.

      nice point. But however the people's skill to estimate speed is different, but in each subgroup with different questions, people are distributed randomly.

    Being a witness and knowing what one's memory as a victim is are different. The one anecdotal "Titus" case doesn't imply all victims will have false victim memory. But, that's what's implied and I don't agree that a long term victim will have a false memory. They suppress, and partition memory so that the trauma is put in the brain differently than what normal people do. especially child victims of rape/molestation will dissociate, they've no place to process the confusion, no place to know what's safe anymore. Therefore, partitioning the memory away for a long time is a commonality for boys. The memory is correct, known, but unable to process it, it's languishing in a painful rabbit hole, and will surface with triggers. Again, a witness is different than the actual victim. Revictimizing happens when a person like Loftus is preemptively used by defense for the use of her so called expertise of memory. Yet, that too is manipulation, like her experiments to prove people's memories of witness are faulty. It's fomenting bias toward all memory!!

      @Rick Nelson So she's been doing clinical research since 1974 to come to her conclusions and your argument is "Oh, yeah?" That's telling her! You sure changed my mind.
