"It’s the difference between a 'Save' and the “Save As” function. Our memories are a 'Save As': They are files that get rewritten every time we remember them, which is why the more we remember something, the less accurate the memory becomes."

Wouldn't that be save? If you save a file it permanently alters the original, whereas 'save as' leaves the original file untouched.
