Weird. Re-examining my first post, I detect no rudeness (no “sigh,” no “I don’t care why”), just a recitation of documented facts. Why would I apologize?
And, no, writing something down doesn’t make it true, but being documented by news organizations tends to.
Conversely, ignoring something doesn’t make it not true.
You know, it’s okay to be corrected on the facts. When I’m corrected on facts, I view it as an educational experience, instead of a personal affront.
