Hey, Katrina! I’m inclined to agree, as noted, and I’d even like to add two other things.

First, there’s a limited extent to which this actually is news. I think people are talking less about the rumour itself, and more about the way in which Spector put it out there, with admittedly little grounding. That’s certainly what I’ve tried to focus on here, and I hope I’ve done it well.

Second, a friend noted on Facebook that he felt the title of this post was misleading, and would only contribute to spreading a rumour with questionable foundation. As much as I hope that anyone who read the title would also read the post, I can see his point. More on that to come.

Sure, it could affect his decision-making abilities. So could the loss of a relative. Or the stomach flu. He’s a human being, and as such is vulnerable to all of the same things any of us are. The only reason this is making the news is because it’s gossipy and it sells papers. Otherwise, it’s rather irrelevant. We don’t ask our surgeons if they’re experiencing marital difficulties before they perform surgery, do we? Nope.
