Wandering afield . . . I content that memory improves with age contrary to popular conception.
Consider: you are a young college student, it is Friday night. You go out with your friends for a wild night of drinking. You wake up Saturday AM with a hangover and feeling terrible. At 5pm that very day a group of friends show up a take you along for another wild night. By 5pm you have forgotten how you felt in the morning. Now it is twenty years the same scenario unfolds, but at 5pm Saturday you now remember how you felt that very morning and stay home for a quiet evening. While at college age you forget at 5pm Saturday how you felt in the morning, some 20 years later you clearly recall that feeling. Ergo memory improves with age.
