This is nothing more than an appeal to authority. Even a
casual perusal of psychological journals demonstrates
that hypnosis can, in some circumstances, improve
memory.  Even when it is detrimental it's a stretch
to say that the memories are almost certainly wrong
(unless by wrong they mean <100% accurate).
