A reminder to whom?

You answere that below.


God, as you have said, already knows.

So it would appear that the only (relevant) person left
would be the person about to offer testimony. And that
person's moral standing surely would not be altered by the
necessity to speak an oath that they either already believe
to be of great importance, or see as nonsense.

Absolutely correct, but that persons moral standing "could" be altered by
the necessity to speak an oath that they either believe to be of great
importance. Or not. If he is truthful he may sleep better tonight.
The oath is for the person taking the oath.
