Is "I regret that" an apology?

Actually a good article on how views of #autism are shifting.

"In fact, he said, his own research showed that autistic people tend to differ in cognitive empathy (interpreting facial expressions and language) but not affective empathy (the internal response to others’ feelings). “Once they know that someone is upset, it upsets them and they want to do something about it,” he said. “There’s a kind of myth that autistic people lack empathy.”

“There’s a kind of myth”

Hunter Thompson did this bit on . . . Letterman? Where he talked about a rumour mill that destroyed some politico at a big convention, he said, “I wrote that there was rumour going around that (I forget everyone’s name, sorry, all I can think is Muskie and it wasn’t him, some other soundbite destroyed him) was taking (some exotic tropical drug like Ayahuasca).
.
What I didn’t say was that I started the rumour”
Big smile from Dave. 😀
