the definition doesn't matter

what matters is that there's a selected group of users, who can leverage capabilities unavailable and unknown to anybody else in the group

again, if you won't be disclosing any info, why do you mention that you have anything to disclose?

How many times do they have to hint that the set of people is not limited to users of any stripe.

They've said enough, and there simply are situations where that's all you can say, and it's neither pointless nor wrong, nor even unusual or all that remarkable. It's common even.
