It's not about humans lying. It's about our memory getting corrupted over time where the stuff we think we're sure of is actually wrong or a misrepresentation of facts. Our recollection of things is a mix of real things and hallucinations. Witnesses provide wildly different accounts of the same event all the time.

This applies to PhDs as well and I don't agree that an expert human is automatically more reliable.
