'It feels like I robbed him of a real childhood memory': Sweet 16-year-old photoshops 6-year-old brother meeting Daniel Radcliffe thus implanting a false memory, brother freaks out when he finds out it's not true 14 years later

Memory can be a slippery thing. They say that whenever you remember something, you're not actually remembering the thing itself, but rather the last time you remembered it. So by this logic, the quality of the information slowly degrades with time-- a photograph of a photograph for years and years until it's just fuzz. So it's not so easily relied upon. This is especially true when you're a kid. Memory is so hard to access from that time that someone could tell you a story about yourself and your brain will form a memory around it, no matter if it was true or not. 

That's what happened to one boy who was convinced that he met his favorite celebrity due to a sweet gesture his brother made for him when he was a kid. But commenters were split on the fallout that ensued. Should the brother have been kept in the dark forever? Read on for the story.
