I didn't downvote you...

But they way you worded it seems to suggest that the VC wasn't telling the truth. At this stage, he has the benefit of the doubt.

That seems reasonable. I've been in situations where people simply recall events differently, without any sense of intending to deceive.

This is a really important point that many people are strongly resistant to.

False memory is a thing and many people refuse to accept that it could happen to them.

(There was a radio programme this week that demonstrated the process of giving someone a false memory. I would post a link but First Great Western (the train I'm on) blocks a bunch of BBC website.)
