I do not accept there was damage to the face - as in a shrapnel wound. I think there is an inaccurate memory situation here and possibly a semantic issue over face and forehead.

In other words, you have no good reason for not believing the statement, it's just that you don't accept it.

I submit that in such a statement, "face" and "forehead" are quite different.

And how about that "large gaping hole in the back of the head"? A misstatement or a misremembering also? Food for another thread, I think.
