Depends how the hearer interprets the information. If there is an unconscious bias no matter what is said, in a furtive exchange, the result will be "He's on his way" or "Looks unlikely"
It will happen all the time. Even Tolm will have occasions where he "wants" to hear something, so he does. As great as the connected chaps are on here, they are still only as good as the information they hear, and how they interpret it.
But, we all sign up to the same roller coaster ride on here, it's just that some handle the G forces better than others.
