I don’t know; probably not. You think I edited the memory through repeated recall, and I admit this is pretty likely, although of course from my subjective view the memory does seem to have changed.
I do feel fairly certain that “microhydraulics” was the word. I had probably heard the words “micro” and “hydraulics” and my parents watched a lot of Star Trek so jamming together sciencey words to generate meaningless compound words was something I did frequently anyway.
Did you record the ‘microhydraulics’ part in writing, or somewhere else on fixed media, before you became a PhD?
