Borges had an illustrious career making up literary references. Perhaps
you should consider writing short stories... :-)
I believe it is Daniel Kahneman (among others) who talks about our
propensity to "fill in the blanks" or "complete the picture".

Hi, Gary,
Thanks for trying. I was prepared by my elders to lose my memory to
some degree when I grew old, but I was not prepared to discover that I
was making new ones up! When I went to google the book this evening, I
had absolutely no doubt that it would turn up at the top of the list. I
am totally boggled.
No, I know Bowles. He’s a group selection guy, among other things.
He’s also from Umass, right around the corner from me in Massachusetts.
I have to admit, I am starting to find this a bit scary.

Just a Google inspired SWAG, but does

Hi, everybody,
I am having one of those senior moments when I either am
remembering something that never was or cannot remember the details
of something that was.
A few years back, there was a visitor, external faculty member, what
have you, at the Santa Fe Institute who wrote a book (I swear!)
entitled */Democracy in the Forest/*. He commuted for a time from
UCLA, or some other LA university. The book title does not pop,
although several entries regarding a book with a similar title do.
I have enough trouble remembering the things I remember without
making up things to forget, so I am hoping one of you can remember him.
