"Surprising" Phenomenon
Why did the witnesses who gave relatively fewer inaccurate details at first end up giving relatively more inaccurate details later?
Objective
The correct answer will be a hypothesis that explains why witnesses who gave relatively accurate accounts when prompted to give inaccuracies ended up giving relatively inaccurate accounts when prompted to answer accurately. We don’t know whether these witnesses' testimonies actually got less accurate the second time around, or if it was the rest of the group who amended their erroneous details. But a hypothesis that points to either of these ideas would help explain the situation.
