9. That's pretty much a given. Amnesia doesn't work that way.

Amnesia is NOT usually triggered by a blow to the head, but by other medical conditions like a stroke. On the times it is, via traumatic brain injury, the memory loss is usually isolated to times close to the injury, such not remembering anything from the day of a car accident. Classic "soap opera amnesia" in the form of total retrograde amnesia blocking all memories from before an injury is, in fact, so exceedingly rare as to be not well understood due to the lack of research subjects.
