I have a lot of experience with the press. It's a pretty hopeless enterprise in many ways. Stories are made up out of thin air routinely, or, as in this case, the story "writes itself"... it's just too cute to have a story like this, and if the facts or people or quotes don't fit it, you have to do what you have to do to preserve the story arc. This happens to me all the time... good and bad, half of what you read about Wikipedia stories is deeply confused. *hug* to danah, I am very sympathetic here.
