I&#x27;m saying you should be careful because it is easy to give a false impression that you are discussing a scientifically supported phenomenon where really it is basically the musings of a fiction writer.<p>the name &quot;Gell-Mann Amnesia&quot; was, in fact, chosen by Crichton self-consciously so that this false impression would be more likely in discussions such as this one. Lack of context and a fancy sounding name serve to obfuscate the truth here.
