And even if none of that were true, you really can say things completely by accident, and that doesn't mean they have no meaning Like the monkeys typing Shakespeare If a Twitter bot spits out a sentence due to a mindless algorithm it doesn't mean the words are meaningless

I've discovered that I said some things that very much startled me while reading reviews after the work was published. And more than once I've just felt inarticulately that X needed to happen in a book, and put/left it in, and not known why till some smart reader told me.
