Well, congratulations, you're the odd one out then. It's certainly not logically impossible for a particular human to be less susceptible to false memory than others. It does nothing to dispel the fact that human memory is still fundamentally fallible in the general case. (And how could it not be? It is after all just a lossy encoding of a much larger amount of physical information.)

But it's the same type of thing! If a DRM list produces false memories, why should these other situations not? You don't even have to reach for the DRM paradigm; it's well documented that witness reports in courts (i.e. exactly the kind of thing you mention) are unreliable.
