What happens if you go through the process and then someone tells you the memory you just had erased? Even if it doesn't trigger the memory again, the knowledge of it could have its own impact.

The houses possess several qualities that equip them for the brutal ecosystem of the Algerian hamada, the so-called desert of all deserts. The walls are made of sand-filled plastic bottles, cement and a mixture of earth and straw that acts as thermal insulation. Compared with the traditional sun-dried bricks, which fall apart in the rains that batter the region from time to time, they are very tough.
Their circular shape serves a dual purpose: not only does it stop dunes forming during sandstorms as happens with square houses, it also – along with the white-painted exterior – reduces the impact of solar rays by up to 90%.
A double roof with a ventilation space and two windows set at different heights to encourage air flow mean that temperatures are 5C lower than in the other houses in the camps.

I saw this on The Mirror's website today.
Despite it being shorter in length than a T. Rex, it was the teeth and jaw that made it comparable to a Rex.
Pretty formidable killing machine - wonder what the pressure per pound per square inch it would have been in comparison to modern day Crocodiles?
