many of these juvenile psychologists go in biased assuming there is some conflict and buy into the "abuse" angle and negligently plant validity for the false memories into the children. it's one of those situations where a person's heart is in the right place and evil, immoral results occur.

Which is the reason professionals should never ask "leading questions" to those being examined.

I can't believe that run down dump is still being used. They moved the Presidio to Monterey, where the DLI currently exists, decades ago.

Yep.

It's easy to conflate outside events with what you want to remember.

For a more innocuous example, I've mixed up performances by NOLA street musicians with ones I saw in high school or college at an auditorium.
