William: Given your statement, cited by Cheerskep, "All stories are based on
memory. All memories are fiction" I wonder if you would feel constrained if
you were required to "tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth". Presumably one fiction is as good, or better than another.

Please tell us what your word is for those portions that are NOT fictional
to
any degree.
This is also what you "actually said":
"All stories are based on memory. All memories are fiction."
It is that universal that caught my interest. Do you now want to modify it
to
put it this way?: "All stories are based on memory to some degree. All
memories are fiction to some degree."
