> I wrote that didn't fully trust Epic's version of the events posted on EpicGames.com, and by the same logic I'm sure not going to trust Apple's version This

  That's not what I'm saying. I can't take both of them on faith alone, because at least one of them must be wrong. I'm not qualified to decide between them, so I should weight them equally. Public statements from the parties, or fans of the parties, are reasonable to suspect of being tactical with the truth even when no falsehoods are stated, rather than giving a complete picture.

    FWIW I found your parent comment to be quite clear. I think it's only hard for people with a black & white/good & evil view on the world to consider that maybe both parties in a conflict might not be entirely pure/perfect.

      It was quite clear, just a bad take. If you have a coworker Bob that lies about everything at work, you can't use that as justification to treat Fred like he is always lying with no evidence. Epic makes false statements because they have a megalomaniac CEO running the show, Apple on the other hand generally tries to avoid legal and PR troubles and has multiple teams of lawyers who review every public statement on an issue.
