Not a neuroscientist, so I don't know what I'm talking about either, but AIUI every memory gets rewritten with the current recollection every time it's recalled — which, combined with the automatic reconstitution of any missing details, is why we're so good at, years later, remembering the same events completely…

You've:
* framed the debate so your answer is default
* skipped reading the argument on your terms that was the bulk of my post
* didn't even respond to the TL;DR summary of that argument you did read. 
* skipped way down to the bottom, where I tossed out some arguments to cover the off chance you'd not heard them at all…
