aggadata as safety net

According to some opinions, learning Torah sheh b'al peh requires
understanding whereas learning the hidden aspects of Torah it's enough
to read even if you don't understand what you are reading.

It occurred to me that perhaps one of the reasons the Talmud is
interspersed with aggadata is so that even if you aren't sure you
understood correctly you can rest assured some of your learning still
counts.
