Yes, it's obviously possible to fail to implant false memories and have them still report that they remember.
I'm not claiming that just asking someone if they remember a fictitious event is enough to reliably implant false memories. I'm also not claiming that the mere existence of false memories under some circumstances means it's definitely all of them in this case.
It's just that in my experience its so easy to do real false memories that I think they're mostly real.
That may be the case. But then, people do seem to lie on surveys quite a lot. I'd be interested to see if the results were significantly different if they used some method, such as dice, to minimize the rate of error by dishonesty.
