Saying some particular thing a lot will help you remember it. But suppose a topic comes up in which the people you are talking to would be upset if you spoke the truth. What makes you want to speak the truth? What makes you not want to? The thought that I might need to refresh my memory by saying it out loud never seems to be the biggest factor.
I have seen people confused by their own lies, and it’s one of many reasons I try to avoid lying, but that seems to only work in one direction and be confined to specific issues. You can walk around all day saying the sun is up, and it won’t help you find your car keys.
I think it goes beyond that. Does aquireing the habit of telling the truth make it easier to see/remember the truth yourself. It just might.
