[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 3938971, member: 149"] While I believe you are being 100% honest and sincere in what you are saying, the problem is that human memory and perceptions can be both extremely unreliable and remarkably selective in how they function. How many times have you had X pop into your head and had nothing like that happen or appear? People have much stronger memories for when things like this happen to match up than they do for when they don't. Most so called "speakers to the dead" and other psychics depend very heavily on this fact. So they'll toss out 10 guesses and all people remember are the one they happened to get right by accident or by basic deduction. A similar phenomenon happens with street lights going out as you walk underneath them. You don't really notice or think about the hundreds that don't go out or were off and stay off while you pass underneath them, but the changing light conditions when one does go off attracts your attention in a way that the non-change doesn't. Perhaps that girl had worn the sweater before and it simply hadn't registered. Maybe the French class had some similar projects from previous classes hanging on the wall or the teacher had mentioned previously that you'd be doing this and it had slipped your mind. I know when I'm driving I think on regular occasions what it would be like or wonder if I might get pulled over by a cop and I haven't gotten a ticket in 20 years. I once identified an episode of "Batman the Animated Series" from a 2 second clip of Batman running in some sort of non-descript cavern. Yet, I sometimes can't remember stuff I was told 5 minutes ago. [/QUOTE]
