This is getting into sea lioning territory here. And it misses the point: This isn't about lawyering out of one specific claim. It's that when you are being investigated for misconduct and deception[0], your word something is true is no longer a viable discussion point.

If you can't prove X-Client-Data isn't able to be used for fingerprinting, we should assume that it is. And just like DoubleClick data, even if it isn't used now, we should assume Google may alter the deal later, as it has done many times before.
