ABSTRACT
...THERE ARE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE JUST WRONG ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND HOW THEY ARE DOING IT. IT IS NOT THAT THEY LIE.. . BUT THAT THEY CONFABULATE; THEY FILL IN THE GAPS, GUESS, SPECULATE, MISTAKE THEORIZING FOR OBSERVING. THE RELATION BETWEEN WHAT THEY SAY AND WHATEVER IT IS THXT DRIVES THEM TO SAY WHAT THEY SAY COULD HARDLY BE MORE OBSCURE . . . [THEY] ARE UNWITTING IS TO GRANT OF FICTIONS, BUT TO SAY THEY ARE UNWITTING IS TO GRANT THAT WHAT THEY SAY IS, OR CAN BE, AN ACCOUNT OF EXACTLY HOW IT SEEMS TO THEM.
