What I have done is contacted the author of the Wired article, Kevin Paulson, and made him aware of Rob's claim plus also giving him the link to Rob's explanation of it on Alan's site. Let's see what he has to say about it.

I've also put the story up on twitter and it's getting activity. The more the story spreads, the more people know about it, the bigger the chance, if there is any, of someone coming forward and saying they taught Rob the strategy. I'll be getting around to posting up the 1K reward on twitter. Right now I'm busier than shit between vulturing, genealogy and dealing with this story so everything is not going to get done all at once. But I'm doing my part to spread the story.
So the bottom line is it's the correct sequence because Singer say's it's the correct sequence.....Uh.... OK, I guess.

I find Rob's version of the DU bug very believable and I believe Axel has verified that it's correct.

I think if you read his description with an open mind you'll conclude it's either correct (though he still may have learned it from a third party), or it's a very ingenious invention. Was it even publicly known that the WIRED story was inaccurate? If not, why wouldn't Rob just repeat the version from the story?
Smurgerbuger, regardless if you believe Rob or not, the answer to your question is pretty obvious. If the wired article was correct and Rob repeated it, but said he found it first, then I think most people wouldn’t believe him. This wouldn’t have evolved into much of a story. Rob is smarter than that.

The only way this story has any legs is because the wired article is incorrect, and Rob knows the correct play. Since there were so many people who knew this play in several states it’s not difficult to come up with a scenario where Rob learned about the correct play. I mean everybody agrees Nestor and Kane were idiots with lose lips, so why would anybody think the correct play was kept a secret?
