@T.Sar : Yes they are. I've acknowledged it myself: According to TechNewsWorld, the source from the OP, (...). Is there anything wrong with that ?

It's clear from your comments T. Sar that you really really don't want to believe this, regardless. Terrible Skepticist.

@T.Sar : what unsourced claim ? I actually proceed by checking two of the six sources given in the article quoted in the OP. I also mention similar claims in two other media (and a simple google request provides more). I believe it is a decent approach to check about the credibility of the article and its claim...

They don't really quote anything, they just provide links for those organizations' websites. This isn't a reference by me, it is just a link. It would be very easy for me to put up a random gibberish about someone and then, as "proof", link their workplace. Proof that James Scott exists is different from proof that he said something. That, coupled with the fact that techNews use freelance, not exactly professional writers makes suspect the text they put out. That said - your other sources are fine.
