Alright. The Paste Magazine piece is enough to raise doubts for me. I deleted my comment.
Thanks for the links, everybody.

The smear seems to me to have been completely refuted on the facts, and there's a second issue: if it hadn't been, there's no way those mainstream publications would have retracted it en masse (especially not given the social climate around that topic). When was the last time they all did that? It's practically a magic trick to get them to do that.
