I'm from the PNW and I read this thinking "mmhmm yep I could see how that could happen."

It took me reading this comment to appreciate how out of the ordinary this must sound to someone not from here.

I'm not from the US and to be honest, it still sounds like something "normal". That's not a rumor. That's just something that happened. A rumor is more like "I heard our ethics teacher has a wooden foot and that is because she got stuck in a bear trap when scaring off a weasel while comforting our biology teacher who found a corpse while scuba diving in the town's lake."

Unless the guy who tells it to you has direct involvement or there is public reports i'd say it is still a rumor. Because he heard it from someone who probably heard it from someone.

At least that's what some guy at a bar told me the other day.

Yea but we don’t teach ethics in the US outside of a few specific occupations
