Probably a fair assessment, but at the least we know the character described in the stories and his various acts (famous, drawing huge crowds) isn't likely to have happened as described. If he existed at all, his antics were on a smaller scale.
There was no shortage of itinerant wandering magic men back in those superstitious times.
