Yeah, I'd call that a nightmare. I can't even imagine that.

I just read that story. Man 23 years. I'm glad that his parents didn't give up on the guy. It was their continue search that lead to this discovery.

The only thing that article seems to discount (and even not that entirely) is the detailed words. There doesn't seem to be any doubt that he has a normally functioning brain in the article...just whether he said what he supposedly said.

Well, I wouldn't say normally functioning is necessarily true, but yes, this casts doubts on what he presumably said. That's the only window we have into his experiences, though, so it is a big doubt to cast.
