So, do you then disregard everything else written in the article that isn't a direct quote from Stringer?

That's not what I'm doing at all.  I'm giving more weight to an exact quote from the CEO of Sony regarding their PS3 business, over some random reporter's interpretation of what that quote means.  What a silly straw man argument.  Just because the reporter said Stringer arrived in Idaho on Tuesday and that's not a quote from some witness/source doesn't mean I disregard it.  I assume it's true barring any evidence to the contrary from someone who has more expertise on the matter.  If there was a direct quote from Stringer's personal travel secretary that he actually arrived on Monday, I would place more weight on that.  If some random person said Stringer arrived on Monday, I would assume they were wrong and the reporter was correct.  Here it's a direct quote from the CEO of Sony and one journalist's interpretation of that quote, that's an easy choice.

 

I was about to respond to this, but it seems kind of silly at this point.

Instead, I'm attempting to get in touch with Mr. Oreskovic (the reporter) via Reuters to get some clarification on why (would) was added to the quotation. I'm not too hopeful about getting a response, but it's better than simply going around and around on the issue in this thread.  :)
