I like the quote because I interpret it as a weapon against the mind projection fallacy: If something is no longer intrinsically wondrous when the truth is known, then it wasn't intrinsically wondrous to begin with.

It would seem to me that even to think that being wondrous was an intrinsic property would be some sort of mind projection fallacy by itself.
