/Collective insanity Is This?

THEIR LOGO LITERALLY LOOKS NAKED WITHOUT THE HORN

I swear to god i remember the cornucopia (or horn of plenty)

What is their actual objection to it being the Horn of Plenty??

I feel like if they just leaned into it it would be the best sales-boosting/marketing coup of alltime!

Its a pretty serious weird coincidence that basically everyone remembers it

"Basically everyone" "remembers" things that are incorrect quite frequently.

Memory is especially egregious. Human memory isn't like computer memory where things will stay exactly as they were years or decades into the future unless there's some freak accident.

Human memory is mostly bits and pieces that get recreated when those memories are recalled. The brain fills in the gaps using rules of thumb and patterns that "make sense".

If you're interested, you can look into research on the fallibility of eye witness testimony -- Elizabeth Loftus is/was a key researcher in that area.

Computer memory (main memory anyway) is rewritten every time it's read ...nay even more so it's refreshed even when it's not read

And flash drives, you probably aren't getting a decade out of one of them without bit flips

Do people call "storage" memory these days? It's not a perfect analogy from a technical perspective, but some people think that their memories are as unchanging as the files they store in their devices.
