why would you ever resolve an ambiguity? that would mean having less ambiguity and that seems entirely counterproductive.
1) remember that something is ambiguous without remembering which way it resolves or 2) remember right answer and forget that it’s ambiguous

the ambiguous-forgetting is such a huge part of narrative bias. i try to keep notes reminding of myself of ambiguous-ness, and I'm always surprised by them later on (eg I once seriously wanted to be a flight steward before I ended up in marketing and now "am a marketer")

this process gets accelerated when you inadvertently tidy up the narrative when recounting it to others. eg people have interviewed me about
