Yes, and I believe both of those are true. However, with PM she wasn't the only one to report this. Am I misremembering that there are other rumors she's gotten wrong? I guess the coming back/leaving/posting about how she's not supposed to say this stuff and will get in trouble with her boss, etc., just sticks in my craw a bit.
(DC, I generally agree people merit the benefit of the doubt whenever possible. I just don't know what her overall track record is like.)
Neal Ronaghan, the director of Nintendo World Report, is saying he's heard similar things.
