You guys are kind of embarassing yourself in this thread. All Clive wants is for you to justify why you think your memory is reliable, yet none of you seem to even have any idea as to why you believe that it is.

As for me, I operate under the assumption that my memory is accurate, because time after time I have acted upon my memory and gotten positive results. Does this make me irrational? Maybe. But I never claimed to be rational.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
