For me, one big piece of evidence I have a hard time understanding is how he could buckle his child in, drive 30-40 seconds to a light, and in the space of those few seconds forget about dropping him off and turn the other way toward work. It just seems unbelievable to me.
However, I myself have forgotten things (not a baby!) in the space of just a few seconds. More than once I have gone into a room to get something, and immediately forgotten what I intended to get. Or, I'll start to say something to someone, and immediately forget what I had meant to say. I know these things happen to other people, too; I've heard them describe it. So I have to imagine it's a reasonably common phenomenon.
But forgetting a baby? Surely forgetting something so important in that short a time should be different than forgetting that you went into the bathroom to get some tweezers, right?
