I don't think Amazon's denial was watertight. It was very carefully worded.

Amazon's statement was masterfully crafted. I'm not surprised. Amazonians are really good writers. That's in their culture. There is also a really big loophole. They aren't saying it didn't happen. Just that they didn't know anything and didn't, themselves, find anything.

They didn't rule out the supernatural, or aliens either. The body of evidence for this happening is an anonymous report to journalists with a history of getting it wrong. The evidence against it is a borderline tinfoil-hat analysis of Amazon's word choice.... come on?

Let's just say that after seeing enough carefully parsed NSA denials, I'm highly skeptical of any statement that could be unequivocal ... and isn't.

We're squarely in conspiracy theory territory here. You can interpret any text to support your conclusion if you're willing to make these leaps, but that is not supporting evidence. Do you really argue that anonymous unsubstantiated claims are strengthened by attributed denials?

It depends who's doing the denying, how the denial is written, and whether I trust it.

If you think the Chinese government wouldn't do this to foreign companies in Chinese soil if it thought it could get away with it, I can fairly well guarantee you don't have a lot of experience operating in mainland China.

You agree that if we can imagine a motivation to do something, that doesn't mean it happened, right? I can imagine crimes that you would benefit from, but that doesn't mean you committed them.
