The good  news is that everyone agrees that controversial information about a
living  person should be well sourced or removed from any article  on

--------------------------------
Yes and no.  It revolves more on "controversial" in this case.   Jaron Lanier 
was a director, he admits that himself.  A source called him a  director.  
His own now-published position is that he only directed one  small portion of an 
experimental film (or something like that).
 
So it's more a weight matter.  Regardless, was the original source  reliable? 
 It's statement is factual, if perhaps unweighted.  But we  have no way to 
tell that, without a counter-weight.  So the issue isn't as  clear.
