   And now the story has disappeared down the memory hole and no one at   
   all is claiming this, so I conclude that it was false.  And   
   furthermore, based on long-established media practice, I conclude that   
   it was a fabrication[1] for the purpose of making the injury sound   
   less serious.   
      
   [1] By which I mean one of:  a) an outright and intentional made-up   
       story, not the more likely possibility but not outlandish enough   
       to be dismissed; or b) posted based on such thin information   
       ("someone said") that it was reported with complete disregard for   
       its relationship to the truth.  Both are morally equivalent.
