Her lie detector is a joke, just like any lie detector.

1. She could believe it was the truth, even it wasn't. Memories are a funny thing, they are not all true.

2. Lie detectors can be beaten

3. Lie detectors are not admissible in court.

 

As for your example, that's not a good example. She made have been almost raped, just like you at elk meat. She may not remember the day, the place, but she won't forget almost getting raped. That is what you are saying right? Who is to say she is getting he person who almost raped her wrong.

You can't tell me you have never had a time where you were like "I swear you were there. We did this or that, ect" And meanwhile the person swears they weren't there. And in the end you might finally remember that they weren't there. I've had that before. Now imagine in that situation you didn't talk to the person who you swear was there, but a therapist and that therapist just continues to cement into your memory that they were there. Now no matter how much your friend will vehemently deny being there, you won't believe them cause your mind/memory ahs been reinforced so much by a therapist.

Oh and lets not forget that according to post above yours that what she is saying now is contradicting what she told her therapist back then.

It validates that she isn't making the story up with the intent of purely smearing him as the Republicans are claiming.

As for my example, you missed the point.  The issues are about not remembering where and when.  The issue isn't about not remembering her attacker.  That said, you don't forget an attacker.  Your non-traumatic example doesn't work.  Trying to recall if someone was at the mall with you 30 years ago is tough.  Trying to recall who sexually assaulted you 30 years ago is not.
