I disagree, a lot of people spill their entire life story when they take it.

The question is if they'd spill their story even if they have a strong motivation/decision to not spill the story, as described in the article. For example, many people tend to talk about themselves while drunk; but they don't magically start talking about things they really, really want to hide, they'd instead become aggressive or silent.

This is merely anecdotal evidence, but having ingested MDMA and experienced these effects, I would say no. There is still very much a feeling that certain things are off-limits. I couldn't imagine that someone would, for example, confess to a murder whilst being interrogated under the influence of MDMA (unless they felt extreme guilt, perhaps).

However, I could easily see myself admitting that I'm not actually a heart surgeon.

That same thing happens with alcohol for a lot of people.
Only when you are young.
