It is very hard to introspect into what cannot be introspected... but with such things as how many flats the key of F major has (which I have a very vague understanding of what the question even means) ... I have a hunch that such data recall is incredibly crosschecked and error-corrected by correlating to many many other known facts. You may associate to maths lessons in elementary school, visual charts, piano lessons, math knowledge, that special smell of the paper and number theory (not necessarily fancy, just simple stuff) that altogether makes it impossible to corrupt upon recalling, how many flats the key of F major has. While as for the kinds of memories we easily do corrupt upon reading (was the perpetrator tall or blonde?) there may be no such data to draw from. Or worse, generalised "data" which is good for pattern matching but not for actual recall. (The stuff prejudice is made of.) If so, then there is no contradiction or problem, just a very intricate mesh of data. (Also I have an idea which is not even a hunch, but pulled out of thin air, that our "logic" and "memory" are much more intermixed in our wetware than in computers.)
