imo incorrect memory does not apply to these occurences being discussed ..at least not the ones I am speaking about .. they are occurrences NOW and not childhood stuff being "remembered" as an adult.
They are "whoa ! what was that thing that JUST happened ?" moments with no "memory" real / imagined / false attached. .
But as soon as anything happens it becomes the past. Even if something happened five minutes ago, it happened then and not now. Days later is even further; and so on.
By the time you recount a memory again it often changes, becomes worse or clearer, etc.
Memory is strange thing, and its actually more malleable than we like to believe. We want to believe that its cemented and that we know for sure what we know. Period. But its not always that way.
Haven't you ever had someone that you shared an experience with tell you "no, that's not how it happened. It happened like this." And you go "Oh, yeah, that's right!"? It happens.
