True, very true, but neither do you now nor did you then. You had no photograph to hold up to make that comparison. And as you well know from numerous double-blind studies the mind is more then capable of filling in the blanks. In fact we now have substantial data showing that what the brain records from the eyes is a far cry from photographic. And isn't it convenient how you discount those parts of the picture that weren't there while adding weight to those that were. A classical case of painting the target after firing the arrow.
Not that you did it intentionally ... it is just that this is precisely how the human mind words. Sorry to say ... you're only human. <g>
