I also wonder just how many of the Mandela Effect examples are a result not of our collective memories being wrong about particular cultural artifacts, but rather of the vastly smaller number of “Gatekeepers of History” on the internet themselves being incorrect. In the case of the issue I have with the Galaxy Quest f-bomb, I suspect that the people who are compiling the “authoritative” history of the circumstances around the film are simply bungling their research and passing off incomplete/incorrect narratives as truth. This process might explain a number of other examples of the ME, as well.
