I don’t think it’s fair to say that he’s ‘lied’, though. He may have lied, he may be confused, semi-delusionally rewriting history to favor himself, etc. I agree his recollection doesn’t match with the facts in many places and that this is one of the main reasons to doubt his recollection of events, but calling it ‘lies’ is a little overly charged for me. People’s accounts of highly-emotional situations are often inconsistent, inaccurate, and varied, since we’re not concentrating on forming good memories.
