Yvain is a doctor and knows something about pathology and knows many different patients. When he blends multiple stories together, the resulting picture makes sense.

If CronoDAS would make up details than it would be quite easy to add details that don't make sense. Winning ideological turing tests isn't easy.

Simply leaving out details would make more sense.
