   Reminds me of an anecdote I once read about Alexandre Dumas,   
   who (allegedly) did the same.  When asked about a plot details   
   in one of his numerous books, he answered evasively; when asked   
   "But you wrote it, don't you remember", he answered "I wrote it,   
   but I didn't read it".
