Given that Lee customarily says something to the effect of 'sorry if I'm
unintentionally doing that (bending/falsifying the evidence)' and then does
it again at the next opportunity, I'm inclined to think it's a memory
problem. Otherwise his professing unintentionality would be dishonest, which
I find hard to believe.

(Unintentional errors are quite possible given the source material, but not 
to the point of obstinating, and as time goes by one should become more alert.)
