I always thought ip addresses related directly to your connection to the internet and was unique

It's unique at a given time (though a forum might not have knowledge of the unique address). However, it often happens that ceasing to use it for a while causes it to be recycled for use by someone else. If the original user starts using the internet again, they are given another ip address that is either recycled or completely new.

. . . he is begrudgingly admitting he made a mistake because it's an important aspect and he's trying to save face.

It's impossible to know from his reply that he was trying to save face. A begrudging admission is one that you are reluctant to give, and we find out why from his next reply - "Well, there is a dispute over the time. I don't know whose time is right and whose time is wrong." He's still disputing the time, as he used the wording "there is", not "there was". Similarly, he used the wording "I don't know" rather than "I didn't know".

Strange, don't you think, when Yvonne attributes to him "fantastic memory recall"?

If you want to see a bit of a bad memory,then read what AE had to say in answer to Mr Rivlin when he questioned her about the whereabouts of Sheila's body. On who told who where it was found.

You know what, you're looking to far into it. The guy said he could have made a mistake which is good enough for me.

For "fantastic", my dictionary gives "fanciful: not real: capricious: whimsical: wild". She could be right.

Are you capable of making a mistake in regard to this matter?

You're right. She COULD. But most people don't associate "fantastic" with "fantasy" or caprice/whimsy. They think of it more as "outstanding."

NB  Are you capable of making mistakes in any regard?

The dictionary also gives "excellent", but annotates that usage as slang.

I aim to be right 100% of the time. When I am able to check whether I'm right, I achieve about 99.99%, so I could improve slightly.
