I don’t understand your argument. “People Can Be Convinced They Committed a Crime That Never Happened” The test subject were people, they got convinced.

They are not claiming that everyone under every circumstance can be convinced they commited any crime.

Even if it can only happen sometimes to some people under some circumstances that would be of great importance to the process of justice.

You are right. I indeed thought only probabilities would matter here, when it is possibilities.

Thank you.

Oh! That puts it very succintly. That is a very good way to express what i was thinking. I will use your phrasing in the future in similar cases where this distinction matters.
