It's up to you to believe it. I personally will believe it when I see it.
I know about that famous tweet... I just don't find it too important, let alone contracting, especially when their history of statements is taken into account. But that is how the rumors start. After a short tweet, or a sentence taken from the context, which usually mean nothing, comes a series of bombastic titles, analyses, forum threads etc... Furthermore, it often takes several iterations to come up with a quality rumor: every co-author gives his little contribution. So we wind up with our own world of expectations, based on very few facts and lots of imagination. And then, when our expectations aren't met, we rant...
