Of course not. What makes it "true" is when scads of people say it. In Prachett's case; sufficient numbers of people point to the significance of his writing ... so his writing IS significant. That's how it works.
And before anyone anyone "50 Shades of Grey"s my comment, there is no large group of people extolling the brilliance of that author's writing. There's just scads
buying it. There's a difference.
