I heard a rumour

From a would be mongerer

Is it common sense to start rumours that may have no basis in fact ? Surely this is not common sense, and it would be better to get facts right first. This would maintain credibility and cost the world less honk.

    Rumours are bad but sadly in this age of news before it happens the BBC/ITN and all the others have to make up the news before all the facts are in. This means that researchers will rely on single sources and not check things resulting in vague, inaccurate or just down right wrong news.

    I don’t think rumours typically cost much honk unless they are about some hollywood star on some kind of mental safari that will sue the arse out of you. I wouldn’t worry too much, I’m sure most researchers are basically honest folk.

Provide common sense...

A dodo. Well known for its common sense.
