That sort of naive question hardly seems like a real reason to cancel a dinner with students. Your comment could just as easily be turned the other way around: why not do the professional thing, and tell the students right there and then that that kind of questioning is simply inappropriate and non-constructive? Let them understand that colleagues have a responsibility to protect each other's reputation. While one person in the group may have been tactless, you can't blame people for just being curious and nosey, I think. For whatever it's worth . .
