Sounds like a bit of face-saving to me... I've heard plenty of rumours about his own conduct and don't want to entertain them because of my love of his work/personality. But giving this interview seems short-sighted and destined to produce a chorus of "well why didn't you, then?"s from its readers.

It does seem like face saving, but that said, it's still better than what most will do... which is pretend that "if there is truth to it then they definitely never saw or heard or knew anything nuh-uh no sir definitely not".
