I can’t pass up the opportunity to point out that that list of words was not part of the cognitive assessment that he “aced.” He forgot that list. Person, man, woman, camera, and TV were just objects in his field of vision at the moment he was speaking in the interview.

I saw it happening to my mother. No one else did or they didn’t want to see it. Its part of the reason why I was cast out.
