Most of life is a myth, at least as we remember it. We all edit and change the past, not only what we are told, but what we ourselves did. I'm not surprised by this at all.

The trick is to be able to visulize what has happened from other viewpoints, and then try to sort out what seems most likely to be closest to the truth.
