Because a memoir has a literary value, the person writing a memoir doesn't have the intention to present every historical even in the exact same way it happened. A memoir actually represents the writer's memories, his own experience, it is not written by a historian with a view to being published as a history book, but rather as a work of fiction.
You didn't italize or mark the phrase, but I see one good candidate:
