One informed source said it was greater than a 50-50 chance that the crew would come back on Dragon. Another source said it was significantly more likely than not they would. To be clear, NASA has not made a final decision. This probably will not happen until at least next week. It is likely that Jim Free, NASA’s associate administrator, will make the call.

Asked if it was now more likely than not that Starliner’s crew would return on Dragon, NASA spokesperson Josh Finch told Ars on Thursday evening, " NASA is evaluating all options for the return of agency astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams from the International Space Station as safely as possible. No decisions have been made and the agency will continue to provide updates on its planning."

You care far too much about some random person on the internet being wrong. I see multiple comments on just this article.

That being said, I think trusting official word from NASA is far more sensible than speculation.

I don’t think it’s just about random wrong internet person. Anyone saying something other than ‘it’s nothing’ was borderline ridiculed.
