I think that's the level of fact checking in the Rolling Stone story as well -- basically they confirmed that the two parties had a date and that she left feeling bad about the encounter. What I meant by fact-checking is whether Ansari has had previous history of doing this to women: are there police reports filed, did they talk to his ex-girlfriends, did they talk to other women he had dated, did they talk to old friends and colleagues about his past behavior around women, etc.
