What if Apple Spilled the Beans?

Yesterday, I discussed all that I was going to say about the Jobs liver transplant thing, but Twitter user @alysdrake brought up an interesting point:

@ismh great commentary…however, people would have little to obsess about if Apple would directly address the issue.

Let’s say Apple did tip the WSJ. In a way, that means Apple could control the story. But if Apple had sent out a press release, they would have much more control.

That said, people would still be obsessing over what Apple’s press release didn’t say. Apple followers love to read between the lines, picking every word and phrase apart to find all possible meanings, trying to glean any tidbits of information they can.

In short, should Apple address this situation? Yes. Would it help stop the madness that is going on? Probably not.
