I understand how hard it is for most people to believe that this kind of
gross and dramatic misremembering is possible. As I say though, we know
that lots of people have honestly and genuinely believed that they
remembered repeated, horrific sexual abuse from their fathers, which never
actually happened. By comparison Williams' conflated memory is relatively
mild.

And again, I am not saying Williams did not lie - just that you will need
some evidence that he lied beyond the fact that he remembered this dramatic
event incorrectly.
