A. I mean human behaviors, physical behaviors, emotional behaviors, verbal ones
that we suppress all the time, in a concussed state can come to the surface.
Q. Do you believe that's what happened?
A. Yes.
Q. That there was a loss of impulse control?
A. Yes.
This one was pretty explicit. Yes, neither expert took a stance that wasn't hypothetical because that's the nature of concussions. Especially when their patient can't remember the incident in question, it all can only be hypothetical.

The point was that Wideman, if he is to be believed, may have intentionally attacked Henderson (and I emphasis this) because of the concussion he received. Not even he could be sure, as he doesn't remember. If that's the case, then we can sympathy with both Wideman and Henderson. However, in that case Wideman should have been remorseful for his actions (even if he didn't recall or have control at the time). Instead he blamed the stupid refs and stupid media...while Henderson's career may be over.
