I think they were speaking to hallucinations. That is the case of a novel idea, often one that even sounds pretty plausible to a casual observer, but which isn't useful (arguably worse than simply being useless given it can trick people) and one connected only in a superficial way (why it fools the casual observer but the expert realizes it as a hallucination).
