What's wrong with it is that it did not happen. Course that's only what
Jefferson himself said. Unless folks, including those who say they admire
him, want to call him a liar.
Maybe one prefers to believe , or imagine,  some gossip, and justify that
gossip by dressing it up with an imagined romance. In other words, what's
wrong with it is that it slanders the man. Put another way, nothing would be
wrong with it if it were true. But it is not; again, according to Jefferson.
