> What scientific value does a drunk post on your exes facebook wall after a bad breakup exactly has?
More than a historic record consisting only of favorable "truths" worded as carefully as an obituary, because everything else has been erased in a race to spotlessness.
Yes because when contemplating about a person's life what is important is what they wrote on the facebook of their former partner in their 20's....
You do understand that "whitewashing" obituaries isn't for the dead, it's for the living when a person dies most socially adjusted people rather remember the good not the bad.
It's not to adjust history in anyone's favor it's to be able to grief in peace.
