Yea the choice of questions to ask her was ridiculous. I mean start there maybe, and escalate to something more interesting, or go further back in time etc. Such a lack of imagination.

It's almost like everyone wanted to believe and didn't want to push the limits to break their impression of it being some super power.

Also with the other woman they used as an example, the only thing she did is say that X date was a Thrursday or something, which might simply be a trick and not a memory recall.

Marilu Henner is somewhat known as a prodigy. She's a member of Mensa, things like that. The clip shown in the video was chosen poorly because it doesn't really convey her abilities.

I just checked her Wikipedia page, and besides a passing mention of her HSAM its pretty spare. I seem to remember (ba-dum-tiss) that it used to be mote comprehensive.

They asked for verifiable facts. I think those answers fit that criteria perfectly.
