I think he's inferring that it's lawyer-speak. There's a lot of grey area within "wasn't saying this virus was not a threat of becoming a pandemic". It's a problem I see a lot in technical people (often somewhat on the spectrum). They communicate everything technically correct, but with complete disregard for how the nuances in framing alters the perception to other people. You can argue that the recipient is responsible for assessing everything they hear/read correctly, but I would put equal responsibility on how you choose to communicate yourself. We're drifting somewhat from the context, but the main one affected by how other people interpret me is me, so I have a lot of incentive to self-reflect on how I'm perceived. "Falling out of an airplane doesn't kill you" might be technically correct, but it betrays the very concept of communication.
