what if someone got knifed in the petrol station? Then we become witnesses to a crime. And our ability to recall these minor details may have a significant role in authenticating our memory of the offence.

i'm glad there's so much research these days showing the fallibility of memory. i've seen it evidenced so much in life, but people's ignorance and refusal to believe in possibility makes it hard, so hard, to convey that such can be the case.
