Ever had that mind slip where you say something out loud, and someone else is convinced you said something else? For example:
"I'm just taking the dog out for a walk"
"You mean the dog?"
"That's what I said - the dog"
"Nope, you said dishwasher. You said "I'm just taking the dishwasher out for a walk""
The weird thing for me is that both people are in absolutely no doubt about what was said - 100% positive what they heard/said. Nothing can convince either of them otherwise. And because of this total and complete certainty coupled with the lack of any suitable evidence, it often leads to major rows, with both sides fighting for their sanity.
How can the brain get it so wrong?
