You'd think they guy could just answer carefully and avoid perjury. A healthy dosage of "I don't remember" on any detailed question should do it.


Not possible. Because if one person says "A happened" and another person says "B happened", all it takes is a subjective judgement on the part of a prosecutor to decide that the two people weren't just remembering differently, one of them was deliberately lying.

With the failability of human memory, there will always be discrepancies in testimony, substantial ones. Even if nobody lies.

Look at the whole Scooter Libbey case. It turned on Libbey saying A, and Tim Russert saying B.
