Because we already knew Fidds used the memory gun on Ford, but in addition to learning that Ford found out about it, that page implies that Fidds was using the gun on Ford frequently. 

Not only that, but you just get a sense that he was using it a lot in general, as an all-purpose problem solver. See something you’d rather not have seen? Zap. Your boss notice you erasing your own memory? Zap. Need help with your top secret project but can’t let anyone find out about it? Zap. Zap. Zap.

It’s just too realistic, something like a memory-erasing ray is so tempting, isn’t it? Imagine if you could just remove an embarrassing moment. Or make someone you care about forget something foolish that you did, something that hurt their feelings. Think of the things you could get away with if you were certain no one would remember you’d done them afterwards.

Because it’s not like you’re hurting people, right? You’re just…making them forget a little thing they’d be better off not remembering.
