I am aware of many of the studies you cited, and do not come to the same conclusion that witness testimony is unreliable.
This is because by accepting the implications of those studies, you'd have to discard your Christian beliefs. It's a clear expression of personally uncontrolled bias.
As for your questions about the reliability of our personal memories: I, for one, do not count on my personal memories or experiences as much as clear evidence when it comes to examining serious and/or extraordinary claims. Mundane claims, yes. Not otherwise.
