The impression of familiarity : Normally, when you meet a friend you can
immediately place and name him; you often know where you met him last,
what he was wearing, and what you said to each other. The feeling of
familiarity becomes relevant only when such specific memories are not
available. It is a fallback. Although its reliability is imperfect, the fallback is
much better than nothing. It is the sense of familiarity that protects you from
the embarrassment of being (and acting) astonished when you are greeted
as an old friend by someone who only looks vaguely familiar.
