   I have no problem with REAL memories of abuse, though even those can't   
   really be introduced as evidence in court.  The problem is when people   
   who had no memory of an incident suddenly "remember" it after a few   
   brainwashing sessions with a Dr. Phil headfucker.  The extracted memory   
   is then used to prosecute someone decades after the alleged crime,   
   an accusation that is impossible to defend oneself against.
