I know it because it happens to everyone. It's universal. Your memories work like this. My memories work like this.
And the more this is discussed publicly, the more those who have ever spent time with the man (going back all the way to the 1960s, I expect, before even) will try to recall if anything happened to them.
This is a natural reaction that will happen for everyone.
Do you know what happens when someone tries to remember something from the 1970s when their memories are quite mutable and they've just been primed with weeks worth of seedy Hollywood gossip?
I do. This is inevitable.
None of this would be at issue, except for the "where there's smoke, there's fire" fallacy/meme which is still too embedded in the human psyche. Worse, the only way you people can imagine that multiple people would make the same false accusation is if they're conspiring.
