How you remember is how you view the world. If, for example, you saw something coming at speed X, but you remember it at the faster speed Y, there is both a subjective view and an objective view. One view is the right view. Your existence, however, does not change the speed of something. Also, the existence of speed Y depends on your existence. On the other hand, speed X does not have any dependency, so if you were not to exist, the speed is still X. Therefore speed X is all that really matters.
However, claiming to know X 100% is also a fault as we can never be fully sure. That is why everyone must be subject to some sort of analysis, i.e. the scientific method, rationality and empiricism. Through these methods, one can test the validity of particular hypothesises, but however close we get, we can never be 100% right because there are variables and externalities. Claiming to be the closest to the truth isn't bad, but pretending to be the truth is dangerous and authoritative.
