What claims were fabricated, specifically? It seems like mostly minor stuff. As in, a man with visual agnosia probably did mistake very different objects, like his wife or his hat, though maybe Sacks created that specific situation where he mistook his wife for his hat just for dramatic effect. It’s shitty that he would do that, but I still feel that whatever I believed after reading The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat I was probably right to believe, because the major details are probably true?
I think that the case of twins who generated prime numbers is a serious one. This leads us to overestimation of human brain capabilities. I used to be skeptical about it and was criticize for not believing.

Yeah that seems to be the most serious one, and the only one I could see that I had a real issue with.
