Inspired by [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/g2csg5/what_fact_is_ignored_generously/fnlesbi?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) comment by u/squigs, I came here to ask you: Why we can’t remember details of things and, in most of the times, we make up things to fill the gaps on our memory.
Why does our brain do this?

We are organisms, not angels, and our brains are organs, not providers of truth. –(poorly paraphrased from) Stephen Pinker
Evolution of our human memory results in “good enough to do the job, on average”, not always the best way.
