I understand your argument, but it's not entirely true. I mean, sure we fill in the gaps and details a little bit by our own emotions, but it's not like we're totally reconstructing the main basis of our actual experience. I don't believe that those minor details really warp our own idea of what happened so much that we can't even trust our own memory of what happened. If that were true, that people couldn't trust their memories of past experiences, then we would live in a really weird state of mind. Everything that we know could be a lie.
