And no one in Casablanca ever said "Play it again, Sam." I don't recall ever hearing of Nelson Mandela until his release from prison and the supposed controversy surrounding it.

While I supposedly have an excellent long-term memory, I don't trust it any further than I can throw it.

And I don't see why he kept calling this "frightening". Sure, it's possible that everything you remember of your whole life is a lie, but since you can verify large parts of it externally it's probably likely that most of your memories are true. Yes, witnesses to events remember them differently. I first heard of this in a book on airliner crashes by Robert Serling (Rod's older brother) called The Probable Cause. One incident, a collision between an airliner and an Air Force fighter, was seen by several witnesses, every one of whom remembered it differently. It happens.
