That's a wrong take. Of course they can't claim the list does not include targets or potential (!!) targets at all - if they don't know the potential targets. What they are claiming is that they didn't have such list, and nobody else can plausibly have such list (as they never compiled it, and nobody else had any way to compile it without being able to access data of all clients - which is pretty unlikely), so whatever this list is, it's not what it is claimed to be. It's like I tell you "I hacked your computer and stole the list of all people you know" - and you say "no you didn't, because on my computer there was no such list, so whatever list you have it's not that". Of course it's theoretically possible I watched you for your whole whole life and compiled such list independently - but that's not likely and that's not what I am claiming anyway. Of course, they could be lying and in fact they could have such list (which could then be stolen), but arguing that them claiming they don't have the list contradicts the argument the list is not what it's claimed to be makes no sense. There's no contradiction.
