                When legend becomes truth, print the legend?

                In this day and age, only if the legend itself is at least based on the truth.....
                Rolling Stone is backtracking from an explosive article in which it described how “Jackie,” a 20-year-old University of Virginia student was gang-raped at a frat party in 2012.

                “In the face of new information, there now appear to be discrepancies in Jackie’s account, and we have come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced,” Managing Editor Will Dana said in statement posted on the magazine’s website Friday.

                Dana also admitted that Rolling Stone did not contact the men that Jackie claimed attacked her.

                ....

                A lawyer for the fraternity, Ben Warthen, said he will release a statement Friday that refutes claims in the Rolling Stone article, The Washington Post reported.

                The statement will say that Phi Kappa Psi did not host a party the night of Sept. 28, 2012, when Jackie said she was invited to a party and gang-raped, officials close to the fraternity told the paper.

                Warthen said the statement would come out Friday afternoon and declined further comment.

                No fraternity members worked at the school’s aquatic center during that time — a detail the woman provided to Rolling Stone and in interviews with The Washington Post.

                Several of Jackie’s close friends and sex-assault awareness advocates on campus said they, too, doubt the article, according to The Washington Post.
                Will an "oops, our bad" cut it?

                                I think one of the Commenters summed it up best:

                                Note that area in the brain that evaluates risk/reward ratios is the last to fully develop in the male brain, typically not until age 25.
                                You'd have to control for age, since it is true that males under 25 are all literally idiots (as anyone can attest who has seen, or been, one). I really have no idea how any of us make it to 30.
