An allegation was made on Twitter, but only thing I&amp;#x27;ve found that digs into the details looks like a complete debunking (see links at &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=30336974&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=30336974&lt;/a&gt;). It&amp;#x27;s from a biased source and I&amp;#x27;m open to any factual refutation, but I&amp;#x27;ve looked for contrary reporting that digs into the details, and haven&amp;#x27;t found any. Only a lot of repetition of the original allegation.</text></comment>
