Isn't it very hard to "not think about it" when required to not think about it ?

  It's a skill that you can practice through meditation. But false-memories and fabricated memories will shoot this idea down long before that stuff comes into play. Memory is no where near reliable enough to be used as evidence like that.

    Witness statements are used right now, and they're memory filtered through people's perceptions and desires; potentially way worse.

      Correct - and they're now gradually having less and less reliability assigned to them, which is good.
