You mean like a temporary hallucinations add-on attached to your individual program? Even so, its activation, modification or erasure would leave a log behind to mark it did happen in some form.
What we call reality is mere interpretation of evidence anyway, so while debating whether something really happened depends on our ability to find said evidence, it's not enough to conclusively declare it didn't actually happen in some way beyond our comprehension.
It is a nice hedge for when you can't be bothered to spend time looking things up to support a claim and don't want people asking
