Or because they're tired of hearing "I just forgot". You can only say "I forgot (because Zi was overwhelmed, because the task wasn't interesting, because I got distracted, because I can't remember lists, because I do a soft reset every time I walk through a doorway)" so many times, even though it keeps being true.
