Take a Memo:

Then I see a guy like Brian williams and scientists in the Detroit news today were trying to explain how it might not be a lie if Brian williams believes it and that does happen. A person recalls a real story but embellishes until the myth becomes a belief.
In psychology we call this "sociopathic behavior."
I'm guilty of this myself. I have some great fight stories. Even I don't know anymore when my friends embellish the stories. Did I really throw that guy that far? Probably not.
I edited my post since you replied. I meant to say Psychotic behavior. A psychopath believes his own lies, to the point they can often beat a lie detector. In their minds, they are convinced events took place as they imagine and not as they actually happened. This is what Brian did.
