With all due respect, how do we know this aside from a few words now and then from a 3rd or 4th party court liaison? I keep looking for something recent to physically prove this other than hearsay, but haven’t seen one thing since the surgery. I’m sure they are absolutely well aware of the rumor so why haven’t they made the very very minimal effort to dispel it by now?
The question that keeps nagging at me is “would they actually try to do this?”, Yes... I think they would try to do this. It’s a law of parsimony situation.
WTH is a "parsimony situation"?
