But if you want to go for hypothetical theories, is any scientist going to tell a dude that his wife is probably cheating.

Tell the dude ? Who cares about the dude.

The genetic expert (Bryan Sykes MA PhD DSc) from Oxford is telling the public that this is an extraordinary birth, putting his name & professional reputation on the line by doing so.

I think it's a safe assumption that he confirmed paternity first. Or he's an extremely wreckless expert. Which is possible, just extremely unlikely.

News source asks expert "if two black parents were to have a white and non-albino baby?"

expert responds "that would be extraordinary!"

New source publishes experts saying "extraordinary" About the story at hand.

Tabloids can print what they like if they find some mug who's willing to claim it's true (usually in exchange for money).

What they can't do, is intentionally misrepresent the opinions of others - not without costly consequences especially if they are high-ranking professionals who's reputation is invaluable.

So far, two qualified experts at the head of their respective fields have commented on this birth in tabloids like the-sun/daily mail and also via the bbc. Brian Sykes thinks it could be a genetic mutation, Ian Jackson thinks it's a type of albinism (four types, apparently). Neither are reported to question the paternity.

I sincerely doubt the BBC, and even the tabloids, would knowingly misrepresent such experts.

I can dig that.

They're thinking of calling it Tim Westwood

(UK peeps will probably get the reference)

awesome! Man did you see that eminem freestyle on the westwood show? His third round into it he gets in to a 5 to 8 minuet zone where he's just killing it!

they better be careful and get protection, I think that's the baby that the tea party prophecies spoke of

Micheal Jackson's resurrection as a white female. Can't wait to hear his new tunes!
