[God, Archie, you're making the tutor in him come out.]
There are factors to consider in the state of someone's memory. The brain is like a muscle in that regard: the more you think and problem-solve, the easier it becomes for you. You can't really exercise a memory, though. It holds on to references you gather in the time in between. Y'probably heard of them before, 'refreshers'?
[He starts raising fingers from his hand as he lists them.] Your current emotional state, the time passed between the present and the time of the occurrence, whatever takes people have of the same event, and other things like, for instance, not being able to see and therefore some refreshers become inaccessible… you have a whole lot of conditionals that may change your recollection.
[Aka, don't trust your brain.] Especially when it comes to moments like these. [Traumatizing and emotional.]
