This is why the post-meeting recap email can be so valuable. People quickly forget the meeting but have so many remembered that they reconstruct a meeting that never happened.
From experience there's *huge* power in writing the recap. Many people never read it, and of those that do most do not want to get into the hassle of engaging in a did/didn't type of conflict, regardless of whether they were right or wrong.
Also the simple CYA aspect to it. A post-meeting email creates a solid, legally subpoenable if need be data point that you can refer back to.
What is “CYA aspect” ?
CYA = cover your ass
once upon a time it also meant Califoria Youth Authority, lol
