Interesting, since I accept it, and I am not a Lucas apologist by any stretch of the word. You paint your enemies with too wide a brush.
"Humans don't remember people and events until they are about 2 years old. Thus when we say things like "I remember my mum, she died when I was young" it's assumed by others that we were at least a few years old when mommy died.
Perhaps the midichorians remembered Padme for their host, Lea. Or maybe Lea used the force to remember her mummy. But we never saw any of this at all, nor was any of it implied. That's why it's called a continuity lapse."

The answer was right in front of your face, and in the OT, no less. Your assumption about what her statement could have meant ignores this.
