I might believe the response from RH if 1) this didn't happen exactly 4 years ago 2) admission of this being the issue didn't expose them to a negligence lawsuit which could easily bankrupt the company 3) the original tweet didn't have a screenshot of the app building links to 3/3/2020 data on 3/2/2020

Yeah, the problem is it happened exactly 4 years ago as opposed to 4 years and 1 day ago.

March 1st, 2016 was the leap year. Not March 2nd.

Fair enough, but the screenshot that one client posted definitely shows their links generating dates for 3/3 on 3/2. That's highly suspicious in of itself. Also, the fact that their website previously said they had identified the cause and now it doesn't is also suspicious to me. I'm not a client so I don't care either way. I'm just saying I don't inherently believe a word RH says when they have so much to lose.
