"The Moth" is not Supposed to be Factual

1 pointsby webmanoffestoabout 13 years ago
Regarding articles like: "The Fibbing Point: Separating bunk from fact in Malcolm Gladwell's performance at a New York storytelling forum." http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/press_box/2008/03/the_fibbing_point.html<p>Take a look at the dramatic differences between versions of Moran Cerf's story. Cerf's story is about when he was a security expert who was paid by banks "to hack into them".<p>A. The Moth LA Grandslam - The "telling an entertaining story at a party" version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJVHTQSvUIo<p>B. In Leading Israeli Newspaper, Haaretz, the more factual version "Israeli Hacker Turned Brain Researcher Making Waves" http://www.haaretz.com/weekend/magazine/israeli-hacker-turned-brain-researcher-making-waves-1.405844
