Memories do degrade the more we remember them. A number of studies have proven this (http://www.radiolab.org/story/91569-memory-and-forgetting/). The tiniest amount of research would have shown them that their whole model is based an a false premise (lossless memory in humans). Our memories are fantastically-crazy lossy. The act of remembering pretty much rewrites the memory each time.
