Who’s “a person familiar with the matter”? They could’ve pulled a hobo off the street to say that.

I doubt very much any journalist actually went out and got an up to date statement. thats not how journalism works for the most part. They are just repeating the ‘common knowledge’, which will be true up until the moment that it isn’t.
Not that i think they are about to release the OOT, but one can hope.
