You realise that would basically throw any witness testimony out the window.

Eyewitness testimony is rather unreliable.

You're underestimating how off falshbulb memories can be. It's not something were the memory is slightly off, you could imagine a scenario that never happened, and be 100% convinced that it did. So yes, it is just a memory thing

Yep. They're vivid, we're confident about them, but are they accurate? Not so much.

Any police officer will tell you about interviewing eye witnesses to an incident and getting very differing accounts. It's actually very frustrating when eye witnesses contradict each other.

Yep we had a Gas station robbery the other night. Cashier employee said Black Male tall skinny black coat blue jeans huge black semi auto handgun, 1 customer said Black man or could have been a tall woman blue coat blue pants small revolver wood grips , a 2nd Customer said Hispanic male all black clothing 5'9 ish 200 pounds, big gun, and a 3rd customer said Middle Eastern of White with Olive skin over 6ft heavy set with Black Sweat pants,
Well thankfully they had cameras. The cashier was the closest to the description. But he was also alot more relaxed since hes been robbed 4 times now.
