Brain injury?
>When Dennett was six years old he suffered a significant injury from being dropped on his head by his mother. This resulted in a severe traumatic subdural hematoma causing significantly lower functionality in the right brain hemisphere.[17]

I can find no reference to this purported incident in this book, or anywhere else for that matter. Looks fake to me. Can anyone confirm? — Preceding unsigned comment added by YoHooComics (talk • contribs) 10:51, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
- I removed the sentence, which was introduced by an IP last October [1]. Half an hour earlier, the IP had vandalized another article, see here, and been reverted immediately. So, the edit is suspicious and should only go back if someone verifies it and gives the page number. --Hob Gadling (talk) 11:30, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
