That it comes up again and again in varying and otherwise unrelated pathologies strongly suggests that confabulation is a deep 'module' of the brain and that what happens when the nonsense breaks out is that higher up 'editorial filter's are damaged and no longer give feedback along the lines of 'eh, no that's inappropriate/makes no sense/etc, try again'.
