I can just about guarantee that no two people would have the same
recognition of specific details. This has been shown over and over again with
widely varying eye witness testimony on the streets, in studies and in most
police academies. There is no reason to think that memories are any less
filtered and interpreted, etc., at the brain fingerprinting level as at any
other.
