if you say something's provably false but you don't prove or even allude to a reason why someone should believe you, um, it's not very convincing


You're 100% right on that.

But this should be enough for you,

"This account is based on interviews with dozens of people who lived through one of the wildest business stories of all time"


That sounds like... they did extensive research and standard journalistic double-checking so it's probably correct?

The WSJ isn't some random blog. Regardless of what you think of their opinion pages, their reporting is generally factually legit.

So you seem to be suggesting that their story is, indeed, correct.


Good, then I also did "extensive research and standard journalistic double-checking" or whatever.


Fantastic! You interviewed dozens of people directly involved? And corroborated everything independently at least once?

Then please share your own version of events, we'd all love to read it! If you spent weeks doing all that research, I'm sure it was so others could learn?


?? that quote makes me think it's accurate, not inaccurate
