From Pete Shotton’s In My Life (1983), Ch. 21, page 169:

…if you could fill [Yoko] in on the Beatles and all that? She doesn’t even know who’s who!

oh shit. i just found a quote from pete shotton who, in may 1968, was told by john to fill yoko in on the beatles, since according to him she didnt even know who was who

and we know that’s a flat lie since she went to paul first, two years earlier.

so. she lied to him. had to have. and he believed it. it wasn’t calculated on his part but it was on hers. ugh.
