Rothwell realises that in order to achieve "the dream of total coverage" (ie. be able to effectively record and capture the essence of everyone and every places's stories) you must reject a "linear way of thinking" and a calculated approach to discovery and instead rely on the notion of "chance". it is only when you let chance and all the obstacles, "erasures and forgettings" this brings with it, that you can finally gain broader appreciation of the richness of a place...
(apologies for weird grammar, englishly brain dead)
