I made wrong assumptions when writing this tweet. I clarified this on Twitter. Apologies for the confusion. Not sure if it makes sense to delete the tweet / thread.

The tweet has been removed. Now that this has been clarified, I don't want to be a vector for spreading inaccurate information.

If a tweet is wrong and you're not out to spread FUD, you delete the tweet. That's standard procedure.

Is it? Usually I see people post replies apologizing and including the truth
