This quote is depersonifiying humans. The old man's facts are in fact interesting, but they are just pieces to the big picture that Winston is trying to put together. The old man keeps giving Winston scenes of a movie, instead of just the synopsis. Winston is trying to bring his memory back, and the old man is the only way in which he will be able to do so. However, as it turns out, he is not as helpful as Winston thought. All the relevant facts that Winston needs are outside the realm of the man's memory. They are details he is not able to recollect.
