Applicant loses, because of inconsistencies and because he could not repeat page 4 of his application

Mr. A, from Cameroon, was denied because he had trouble answering these questions from the Asylum Officer:
-you were a student in the DRC from 2008-2012? during those four years, you never returned to your country? YES, except
the real answer is NO?
-I, the asylum Officer, know more about your international travel than you do? That is because I opened and read your passport? you were too busy to do that, before this interview?
-you joined the opposition party in June 2008, but your card says you joined in 2009? why did you voluntarily give me a card with a date on it that contradicts your own testimony? you were too busy to look at the materials you sent to me?
=
-Page 4 of your I-589 says you started working for the X company in January 2011? but, you told me that really you started working there in July? Did you think I would not read page 4? you forgot what you wrote down on page 4?
=
-you say you were an active member of the opposition party? what are the goals of that party? what does it advocate for? does the party want the government to change the rules or laws for certain things? like what? How come you do not know? because you do not really know anything about the party, I think you never were really a member.
=
-you say you were in the hospital from March 12-19th, 2011? However, your supervisor signed an employment contract for you dated March 15th? while you were in the hospital? Isn't this very unusual?
