No rumor was stated outside of Buffets name at that time, hence the observation that if the rumor was of some sort of white knight funding or other pie in the sky nonsense, the reality is that Buffett and his great friend Bill Gates have (had, Bill) a great PR acumen, but that has little bearing on reality in the markets.
The thought of him donating to a university has even less to do with this investment.
So we have three to four steps of tortured, fantastic logic and somehow a reminder of reality is out of bounds..
You also have little bearing on reality.. ergo your post hoc attempts to not look like an idiot.
