Will Smith (post 4): Memory Gap vs. Justification for slapping master of ceremonies at Academy Awards might depend on which personality you asked

A personality who had not given the slap might know about the slap from what people have said, but might have a memory gap for the actual slap.

He might not admit the memory gap, fearing he’d be called a liar (as he was in childhood) (post 1) unless he believed you’d keep it confidential.

However, the personality who did give the slap—perhaps “the General” (post 3)—would not have had a memory gap and might even give a justification for the slap.
