I understand perfectly what you have been saying. The totally correct recollection of events by humans is all but impossible and all accounts will differ somewhat. People's perception of events is a subjective experience.
This is irrelevant because people's accounts, recollection of events and fallibility are not mentioned in the definition. "the real facts about a situation, event, or person".
....and we are talking about the definition of a word within the English language here so we best leave the more esoteric discussions about perception or consciousness out of it.
