My sense is editors sometimes want to believe a story so badly, they suspend disbelief. This is especially true if a book has great sales potential and the author has a lot of personal charm.

Apparently, the author did a good job of appearing truthful in various contacts with the publisher over time, but still, I wonder, why the fabrication wasn’t caught earlier.
