Let me correct you on a few things. Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not “Every Man for Himself”. And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked ’em up.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker briskly corrects three absurd claims in turn: Aristotle's nationality, the message of Buddhism, and the nature of the London Underground. Calling them mistakes and adding that they checked gives the correction a crisp, mockingly superior edge, as if the listener's errors were laughably easy to fix.
