You've just answered your own question.
Getting lucky is hardly a good method of verifying something... If it can't be verified promptly then we have a problem.
But Cunc dealt with this. 'Verifiable' is an in-principle thing. It is distinct from saying everyone can do homebrew fact-checking on anything mentioned. Verifiability on Wikipedia can't simply be a sceptics' charter: that really would be a problem.
