There is a correlation between smoke and fire, always?

Really?

There was a lot of smoke over an actor named Roscoe Arbuckle who was accused of assaulting an actress. His career was ruined and he never worked again. It made no difference that he was found not guilty in court.

There was a lot of smoke over a swim coach at Simon Fraser University named Liam  Donnelly and accusations that he had harassed a student. He was dismissed from his job over the accusations. On further examination it was determined the student's accusations carried laughable credibility, with reports surfacing that she was actually stalking him, not vice versa. Years later that female student would be the subject of a news report involving a different man: "Rachel Marsden, 28, was arrested by Vancouver police, held in jail overnight and charged yesterday with one count of criminal harassment, accused of stalking a 52-year-old city businessman."

Some smoke. Some fire.
