This quote suggests that too much emphasis on verifying or validating every aspect of a story can sometimes undermine its essence and appeal. It highlights the importance of the imagination, creativity, and spontaneity that often contribute to a captivating and powerful narrative.

Rather than getting caught up in excessive verification, the quote encourages embracing the freedom to let the narrative unfold and enchant listeners or readers with its unpredictability and charm.
