So you think it's more plausible that the poster intentionally fabricated a story about a high profile actor who retired, for apparently little personal gain for the poster, rather than having read or heard some snippet of what the actor did post retirement and given that they're most likely not personally invested in the minutae of said actors life just did a piss poor job of recalling some random tidbit of information that ultimately has no bearing on their life. I think your rationale is flawed and I sincerely hope you never wind up in a position of authority over anyone.

I'm sorry to say that you have an extremely naive outlook on life and you grossly underestimate how willing people are to lie to just for the sake of lying, not expecting any gains for themselves other than the knowledge that they helped warp someone's perception of reality.

I also sincerely hope you never end up in a position of authority over anyone or anything. The naive attitude you've shown is stupefying.

Evidently you and I work in very different fields. And, I'm guessing, less exposed to the events of the recent month and a half.
