Denying the problem isn't going to win them any points here, nor is off-handedly stating "oh, we're working on it, but don't blame us." They could start turning the discussion the other way to admit to problems, get releases out quickly to improve the performance, and be painfully clear how Apple could help make their software run better (system call information, etc).

Suddenly, it's Adobe who's coming out as the sympathetic market leader, and Apple has to turn and defend its stance as anti-Flash from a non-technical standpoint. As Apple is forced to make its pro-App Store stance official (even though all of us here understand it) they'll get looked by the masses as as a monopoly-maker or as a company that stifles outside development.

Well, they are.
