Well, I know I have dissociative amnesia and I've recovered some memories I know to be true. So personally I know repression does and can happen. But I realise others may not believe me.

The 'other side' isn't about encouraging suggestive memory work, at all, but simply about the existence of dissociative amnesia and delayed recall. Loftus et al would like people to think that suggestive memory work goes hand in hand with the entire concept of delayed recall. It doesn't. Any good, ethical therapist will not suggest anything, and most memories are recovered outside of the therapy room.

How would you define digging?
