There's also research about how people basically create memories from assumptions like that. For example, people who went to Disney parks at a young age were successfully provided with suggestions later (which became memories) that they had seen cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny, even though Bugs is not a Disney character. Our minds tend to put things like that into convenient places.

I'm not a scientist, but perhaps we expect the human brain to record perfectly, when in fact it is also ordering and trying to make sense of things...imperfectly.
