If he didn't visit himself, he must have had very close contact with someone who did visit, and was truthful in telling Polo what he saw and experienced.
The story of Polo's unknown source must be as amazing as the journey polo attributed to himself.
There are some places Polo visited so remote but written about in such vivid detail, that only within the past 150-200 years did explorers confirm the accuracy and authenticity of his record.
Also, don't Christians ever consider the fact that the (alleged) most important decision a person is obliged to make rests on the confidence one is able to summon in a trivial (and again, alleged) historical detail and think, "Wow, this theology really is stupid!"
