I agree in principle that labs have the responsibility to dispel myths about what they’re committed to
I don’t know, this sounds weird. If people make stuff up about someone else and do so continually, in what sense it’s that someone “responsibility” to rebut such things? I would agree with a weaker claim, something like: don’t be ambiguous about your commitments with the objective of making it seem like you are committing to something and then walk back at the time you should make the commitment.
Yeah fair point. I do think labs have some some nonzero amount of responsibility to be proactive about what others believe about their commitments. I agree it doesn’t extend to ‘rebut every random rumor’.
