For now. But maybe they will try. this news is in many places. Evidently is completely ridiculous and they try to distract the mass, also the message of workers smoking gives the image of irresponsible workers, when I am sure the people who worked at ND were very professional. Not anybody, I am also sure, was hired to work on the reconstruction of the cathedral, but workers with experience. Oh well, we will see.
Once again, it is the weekly magazine Canard enchaîné which comes up with the story about the cigarette butts. Canard is French for duck, and the expression "un canard" means in common language "a hoax".
Even if it is outright rejected by the company, then the effect is that many will think that it is a natural cause, like cigarette butts or faulty wiring. And the result of enough baseless stories is that it will send people on a wild goose chase (just to stay in the waterfowl family of Anatidae) and thus they wil take the eyes of the ball (the essential problems and questions with the official narrative).

If the revelations of the Canard chained are accurate, they show how much the security of Notre-Dame de Paris included some incredible loopholes. The newspaper, which had access, it seems, to several elements of the investigation, points to major problems, starting with the habit of some workers on the site who sometimes grilled a cigarette on the scaffolding , bypassing the instructions. "In the hearing, some workers admitted that they were coming - despite the strict prohibition - to smoke on the scaffolding," reports Le Canard, adding that the police have already found seven butts on the scene. We think we dream.
Second intriguing information: the famous arrow, at the base of which would have started the fire, included bells, long out of order, but which had been electrified during the renovation of the grand chime of the towers of the cathedral in 2012. Electrification was provisional, according to Le Canard, who quotes the chief architect of the historic Monuments Benjamin Mouton, but the provisional lasted ... This chime of the arrow rang the same day of the drama, at 18 h 4, a few minutes before the first fire alarm. "There is no reason to say that the power supply of these chimes has been short-lived at 6:04 pm, but this assumption is taken seriously by cathedral experts. "
We learn that there were also three small bells above the keystone of the transept, which sometimes rang during mass. "In 2007, they were electrified without anyone knowing who could authorize such imprudence, says the newspaper. A video of 2015 shows this chime connected to cables enthroned in the middle of the dust and beams. "
Yes and no. It is a little like newspapers, where a lot of people wil answer no if asked directly if it is all true what it says in the papers. Even if they know at some level that it is not necessarily the truth, they don't know which part is true and which part is not true. Neither would they know how much is actually true or false. They might think 20% is lies and yet it could be 80-90%. Even if it is only 10% lies, those lies can steer the truth in the completely wrong direction to massage people's opinions where the newspaper would like.
