| But isn't the "memory" you are referring to that of the subject and those with first hand knowledge as a baseline, as opposed to that of an "interviewer" who didn't do a good job of memorializing what his subject said? No doubt Williams embellished/misremembered/etc his recollections. We all do. But we are not interested in scrivener's recollection or his creativity (unless, in the latter case, they set out to write a work of fiction. [There is a parallel discussion that is of the moment (but that we will not have in this thread), being the various creative licenses Miranda took in Hamilton. And no, of course I am not comparing Grissom to Miranda).] |
