We all did? Odd; I didn't get that impression from the article in The Register. Perhaps it's not a reliable source, though, what do you think?
It is a reliable source. Reliable sources are sometimes mistaken. Experienced editors know that. Verifiability, not truth.
I think you're rather mistaken about reliable sources. The Register has a long-standing and deserved reputation of printing whatever it thinks it can get away with that's controversial, to increase their traffic. I don't think that's the definition of 'reliable'.
It's the equivalent of sourcing things to a celebrity gossip rag. We generally don't accept those as sources either.
