Psst: you also forgot that teleconferencing wasn’t a thing people did back in 1989. So, you can’t be mistaking a teleconference you were in with her for your reason she was **in earshot** and you can’t have **seen her perk up** and say, “You like Warren Zevon??” in a teleconference. Or have you already forgotten that you said you misremembered a teleconference as a face-to-face conversation? > [@Pitting Honeybadger](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pitting-honeybadger/810183/986): > > THAT I don’t remember. It’s not quite what happened, but close. We were chatting online privately, not with a group of people. Maybe I misremembered it as a teleconference communication with a group or something. We did get engaged and married in those timeframes. I don’t know why I misremembered that at the time - you are dragging up a post from 20 years ago. Like Judge Judy said, you don’t need a good memory if you’re telling the truth. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-serious-question-for-sam-stone-on-factual-errors/955881)._
