That "bug" or "flaw" sentence is very carefully worded. It's like:

    bool bug = true;
    bool flaw = true;
    bool uniqueToIntel = false;

    bool reportsAreTrue = (bug || flaw) && uniqueToIntel;

    // reportsAreTrue == false!

Yes it's designed in such a way that in a court of law they could claim they were announcing a bug, but most or many people reading it would come to the opposite conclusion. In other words it's deceptive.
