I think in essence this quote implies that the good move you see is not the absolute best move in the position, which as you explained perfectly means you must already know the end result. I always thought this quote needed an extension like: When you see a good move, look for a better one, if you have unlimited time and/or it is a forced move or a forcing checkmating sequence, etc.
