> speculation on top of anonymous rumors isn't worth much attention.

I've been called out twice on HN for this [1], but I wholeheartedly disagree. I hadn't heard this rumor before now, and now I have new information.

I can use my own reasoning to qualify the weight I give the claim. I know this is a rumor. I'd rather have some known possibly incorrect data than none at all. It helps me understand the possibility landscape better.

This one even has a WaPo article.

I don't disagree with anything you're saying here. My only point is that this rumor isn't worth much... and even if it is, the impact to us and/or the program is not significant.
