If you watch the video she explicitly says that the Feynman lectures were written by Feynman, the actual lectures, but were edited into book form by the other guy. She says exactly that, so she is not lying about that.

Your other claims that she is lying are backed up with as little factual information as her assertions, but having read about the man i would seriously consider that a great many of his stories are seriously exaggerated for effect. Again, she states that stories about the challenger hearings and his wife and various other occurrences for which we have evidence are completely factual. But it is rather obvious, dick being a rather hammy storyteller, that many fun details in his stories could have been tweaked to make them fun, and are kinda strange when you imagine what the other side of the conversation must've been like.

I don't blame you if you did not watch the video because it was long, but i will blame you for lying in this chat. I understand, i worshiped Feynman for a very long time but we have to understand that the man is not the legend.
