The problem is you throw out the baby with the bath water and no its not a bubbeh maaseh. It is very unlikely that Rabbi Yitzchak Zilberstein shlita makes up stories about Rav Aharon Kotler when he wasnt niftar all that long ago and the story can be proven false and make him look bad. He happens to be a great man and not some story teller out there…
Some people prefer not to believe any Tzaddik story and that is wrong as well. There are 1000’s of verified stories of Tzaddikim. Im not interesting in arguing so believe what you want but there have been many stories of Tzaddikim doing miracles (this isnt one of them). Yes they were supernatural in that they received special siyyata dishmaya from Hashem. Yes they were regular humans who decided to be different than everyone else and devote themselves totally body and soul every waking and sleeping moment to Hashem. You dont think that to a certain extent Rav Chaim Kannievsky does is supernatural. Or Rav Aharon Leib Shteinman, or Rav Ovadia zatzal, theres 100s if not 1000s of unbelievable stories about Ravv Ovadiah. All made up right?
Im sure there are people like you that in 70 years will say the stories about Rav Chaims hasmadah are made up. Talking about miracles, you didn’t hear the story with Rav Chaim and teh grasshopper? He verified it himself? Is he lying too?
