How does one verify a fact? Does it really only take 2 minutes to 'thoroughly' verify the validity? And why limit oneself to librarians?

What I fail to see, is how this adds facts to wikidata. Best case it adds metadata about the validity of the claims. I do agree that that would be nice to have, of course.
