I do believe we are well down the path of forgetting this event. And some have forgotten it already. These statements may not sit well with many people but I think it can be said. I'm convinced that the emotional and intuitive direct experience is irretrievable.
We tend to make the leap that having some small part of an experience in our memory is equal to "remembering." We also tend to substitute symbolic recreations and reminders for actual experience. There are also many mechanisms of denial at work within us.
