    That’s actually probably not true, it was suggested as one possible reason and games media outlets ran with it. https://youtu.be/vj8DzA9y8ls As far as Voyager goes, it’s equally if not more likely that the memory is starting to fail after nearly 5 decades in constant use.

        Haha well that’s good at least! There are some great YouTube speed run analysis / history videos in this same style. You should check them out even if you don’t really care about speed running.
