The quicker spreading of information has probably made this "effect" more true than before.
But, on a more scientific basis, there are studies that show how it is possible to "implant" false memories into children.
There was a famous case in Canada about a day care that was accused of sexually abusing a large number of kids. Kids swore that it happened. Turned out none of it did.
(I guess somewhat similar is the unreliability of eyewitness testimony)

That’s the Biden Defect. It’s different.

Few things are more consistently overestimated than the accuracy of one's own memories.

We all have our personal mythologies. Joe just has a lot more than most.

What a weak response from the God of Factual Minutiae.
You don't have actual numbers?

Don't you long for the days when columnists at reputable news sources actually kept track of such things?

I try to help in my own little way here.

Who TF could think Mandela died in prison?
If you’re sufficiently aware to know who he is, how could you not be sufficiently aware to know that he was the President of South Africa?

Paranormal researcher Fiona Broome, apparently.
Obviously, only the very best and the brightest take that up as a profession, so I'm not sure where you get that attitude.

Indeed. That man had one hell of a story arc.
I suppose it helps that South African apartheid was the cause du jour when I was in college, but still...

I'm just struggling with the idea that a paranormal researcher could believe something that had no basis in fact.
