They also could have had a legitimate claim to non-technical people (at the FBI/NSA/blah) that "you sure you want this? this system will be abused...someone could write a hash collision". The Gov't agency scoffed because they didn't believe it.

So Apple called them out on it by letting the market decide. They now have that evidence.

Razors are inherently self-identifying as heuristics - not rules. So no need to add more disclaimers.
