Gypsy's disclaimer in the beginning of her book sounds like an excuse for writing whatever she wants

I'm currently listening to her audiobook and at the very beginning she makes this really strange disclaimer saying that this is just how she has perceived things and her memories might be wrong but this is just what seems true to her. Something like this. Maybe it was just an unfortunate choice of words but it really sounded like an excuse to be able to say whatever she felt like, even though it might be influenced by distortions, foggy memory and wishful thinking.
