This isn't someone speaking on background for the figurehead. It's a coworker injecting their own opinion/advocacy.

  Based on...? You're presuming what they are saying is untrue.

    That seems more reasonable than assuming an anonymous source is right.

      It really isn't. If he really did leave for this reason this is exactly how you would expect it to be communicated, and if he didn't not only would the timing be suspicious, but there would probably be an actual reason for leaving given.

        The problem here is that you’re right and this is a likely way we’d find out. But it’s also lots of other possibilities. So assuming that it’s true is not a good idea since there’s no evidence that it’s true.

          There is evidence that it is true - the timing, his defence of Timnit (which worked under him), the anonymous sources, and the deliberately vague resignation letter. To me, that it is true seems much more likely than the reverse.
