Given her background in psychology, it is not surprising that during yesterday's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Christine Ford should tell us that the laughter of Judge Brett Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge is indelible in her hippocampus.
"Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter," Ford says, her voice cracking.
"They were laughing with each other," Ford replies.
Strictly speaking, Ford's claim that "Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter" is nonsense.
While one would like to be charitable, believing that Ford is simply in error, in view of what seems to be her deliberately heavy breathing and sorrowful manner and tone, we must, I think, conclude that she is being disingenuous: trying to sway everyone via "Her expertise." She is acting, perhaps, on the advice of her cynical lawyers, including Democratic activist Debra Katz.
To be sure, Ford may indeed have been almost raped some thirty-six years ago.
In any case, contra Shepard, "The exchange" manifestly did not underscore "How the alleged assault was both traumatizing and humiliating." Nor did it gird "Ford's credibility, showing the extent to which the incident is imprinted on her memory." From an epistemic point of view, all we really know is what Ford has alleged.
