I keep seeing people mix up the 'Mandela Effect' with actual false memory studies

Just check the facts first, it saves so much time (and arguments).

74% of the time people double down on a bad memory instead of just pulling up a spec sheet. I get what you're saying about efficiency, but sometimes the arguments are worth having because they force you to question your own assumptions. @susan_adams calling it a "mystery over facts" is catchy, but I think it's more about ego getting in the way of simple truth. Like with alignments - I've had guys swear the numbers are right until the printout shows they're off by 3 degrees. Checking facts is quicker, sure, but admitting you were wrong is the real bottleneck.

Yeah, that line about loving a mystery over facts hits hard. I see it all the time with my crew, like when they're sure a part will fit because they remember it a certain way, but the specs say different. It's easier to believe in a weird mix-up than to just admit you forgot. Susan_adams is right, it's a whole vibe now. People would rather have a fun story than check the boring facts.
