Aren't there options other than either Kavanaugh or Ford intentionally lied? I've seen many times over my life the case made that different people can remember the same event differently. That we can edit our memories, especially over time, and sometimes construct even new narratives for ourselves -- not because we're trying to trick anyone, but because this is how our mind works.
I understand the appeal of the simplicity in just picking a side, choosing to "believe" one and excoriating the other, but I'm not convinced that things happened exactly how either of the two of them remembers it. Trying to piece together the specifics of an event like this from so long ago, especially, is murky business.
