What is to absurd to be believed is believed because it is too absurd to be a lie.

Summary

This quote suggests that sometimes people believe something that is so outrageous or absurd solely because it seems too extreme to be fabricated or intentionally false. In other words, the sheer outrageousness of a claim can actually lend credibility to it, simply because it is difficult to conceive that someone would come up with such an improbable falsehood. The quote seems to highlight our tendency to find truth in the most unlikely places, often based on the assumption that truth itself cannot be so outlandish.
