While there may be some evidence that we remember everything we experience,
there is also some evidence that we do not remember *any* sensual data.
Rather, we "tokenize" it and recreate the scene when we perform the act
of remembering.

This can, and often does, lead to faulty memories, as the correspondence
of token to reality is constantly being revised.  This is one of the
reasons eyewitness reports are being proven so unreliable.
