I stand by what I said .The brain's a fascinating thing, as displayed here. It's both unreliable in memory and hugely resistant to having that pointed out. Our friend
@henry76 started out with a memory of
a very pronounced drop in the dollar for
a day or two before .(my bolding for emphasis). When it's pointed out that in fact over the 2 days prior to 9/11 the dollar was flat with actual inconvertible proof in the form of the actual currency levels on those days,
@henry76's brain decided not to take the rational approach and realize that it might be mistaken. Instead, it decided that "a day or two before" really meant "a month or two before" or maybe "a week or two before" because it turns out cherry picking those times supported the flawed premis. It also decided that switching from the quotes provided to the dollar index would somehow obscure the fact that it was using quotes from
2 months and
1 week before 9/11 to back up what it now knew was the incorrect assertion of "a very pronounced drop in the dollar for
a day or two before" 9/11. Glaringly missing from this new dollar index data are the actual numbers for "
a day or two before", even though
@henry76 must have seen them. Did his brain realize they disproved his original assertion, and tricked him into omitting them? Did he affirmatively decide not to include them, but then immediately forget he did? And it appears, given the smug remark
@henry76 felt the need to throw in after this display, that
@henry76 himself is blissfully unaware of what his brain is doing in his name!
Now there's no question of what actually happened (or in this case didn't happen) to the USD "a day or two before" 9/11. The only question is how and why
@henry76's brain is so resistant to admitting that it misremembered? Imagine how damaging that resistance to a fact based reality is in hundreds of aspects of every day life? Fascinating demonstration
@henry76, thanks.
