It's like taking a wrong turn on a roadtrip. You've driven so far and convinced yourself that you're on the right path. But in reality you need to step back and check all the assumptions and choices you've made to get on this path.
People coming in and out of existence facilitates sanity checks on current acquired knowledge.
